It depends, I would say you’re going to want to use both approaches at different points of the year. Typically I’ll do straight sets (same weight) most of the year to build up some work capacity and refine technique, and then when I’m peaking, typically for a meet, I’ll do more of a pyramid approach where you work up to 1 or 2 true tops sets on the main work. Another option is to use one approach for your A movement and the other for your B movement within the same workout.
