For example I have found especially with chin/pull ups that if I go all out on in the beginning and do 10 reps I have to rest much longer and cut the reps significantly in subsequent attempts. In this case I would go 10 reps, rest 2 minutes do 5 reps, rest a minute do 5 reps etc.
I have also tried starting with 5 reps, resting for a shorter period then going back and staying with 5's as long as possible. I have found in my small sample size (me) of various exercises (chins/pull ups, ab wheel, back ext.) that either way I usually end up with around the same number of total reps.
I'm just curious what other people's experiences have been.
