i was wondering if steady sets (same weight for all sets) are more or less beneficial than pyramids (increasing weight after each set)

steady sets vs pyramids

I think it depends on the application to your routine. For example, right now I'm doing a 4 x 6 set/rep scheme. Say last week I had benched 145 for all 4 sets. This week, I might do 145 on my first set, then 155 for sets 2 and 3, and maybe even 4 if I can make it. Then the next week, I do 155 for all my sets. Maybe not at that pace, but you should see what I mean. Just what has been working for me...
personally i like pyramid sets as they get my body introduced to heavier weights. It all depends how I feel though. both probably have their benefits. Lets get some expert imput on this.
I usually do what mmw does. Seems to be working for me as well

I agree with Markmywords...Each style is beneficial depending on what your goals are. Normally, If you're looking to bulk on some mass, keep with the steady sets as the high volume with target that kind of adaptation. If your goal is strength, the pyramid sets work wonders.
