Trial and error is a great part of the foundation of progress in any endeavour.


Here is something you might not have considered in the trial and error paradigm: the greater the trial, the greater the potential for and magnitude of error.


One set of 10 (or even less) might be more justified as a starting point. If your response to that is something like "What's the point?", then ask yourself why you showed up to exercise in the first place.
