i'm confused [sm=confused06.gif] is this set's per workout or over a week. IE 12 set's ov 8 reps. is so it would take hour's to do what some of you lot have posted up

wizard -> RE: How many Sets do you do for each body part ? (Apr. 17 2008 16:12:11)
Are you guys including the compound exercises as a set. For examples Biceps you say u do 6 sets, how bout when u do bent over rows, is that set included in the 6?

Per session, I do 16 to 24 sets, depending on the body part. Chris

Guys you all seem to do alot of sets, i thought doing to many sets would be over training, which must mean i am probably under training, heres my weekly routine, tell me what you think. Chest and Triceps Flat Bench 4 sets Incline 3 sets Flyes or Pec Dec 3 sets Total on chest = 10 sets This is where i get confused coz the above are compounds and work triceps as well?? Skulls 3 sets Rope Pull down 3 sets Total on Tris = 6 sets Back and Biceps Deadlifts 4 sets Bent over Rows 3 sets Wide grip chins or Wide grip pull down 3 sets Total = 10 sets This is where i get confused coz the above are compounds and work biceps as well?? DB curls 3 sets Preacher curls 3 sets Total = 6 sets Legs and shoulders Squates or leg press 4 sets SLDL 3 sets Leg Extensions 3 sets Total = 10 sets Military press 4 sets seated DB press 3 sets Front Lateral raises 3 sets bent over flyes 3 sets Total = 13 sets

drewsky -> RE: How many Sets do you do for each body part ? (Apr. 18 2008 9:46:49)
How many you do depends upon your training set up (split, type of split, whole body etc), movement choices and your goals so I would help to have that info to!

carl19 -> RE: How many Sets do you do for each body part ? (Apr. 18 2008 17:07:19)
back 15- 3 on each of 5 exercises, deads, pullovers, low rows, high rows and pull downs.... deads are on a seperate day from the rest chest 6 sets- 3 flat bench and 3 inc db triceps 3 sets of tricep dips biceps 3 sets of db curls thighs 3 sets of squats hams3 sets of curls calves 3 sets shoulders 6, 3 sets of db presses, 3 sets of lat raises my legs are my best body part so they get less work, my back is ok but the top lacks thickness.

Someone told me this rule, bigger muscle groups - 12 sets max smaller muscle groups - 8 sets max I think it a very good guideline especially for beginners CHEST - 8/9 sets TRICEPS - 6 sets max BICEPS - 6 sets SHOULDERS - 6 sets max LEGS - 12 sets TRAPS - 3/4 sets ABS - 6 sets
