i was told that u get muscle growth from when the muscle is broken dawn and then re-bilt biger.. so with my sets i scrapt a solid structure for the sets but cept the reps in the set the same. i just ceap on doing them till it realy hearts so i no ive broken the muscle dawn. buth then i looked at the kinda sets people in the forum are doing and ime begining to have daws in my new method. am i right or rong

[AlteredBeast]

I usually do 3-4 sets per muscle group...

[Beefcake]

I do anywhere from 2 to 8 sets per bodypart. Check out DC or HIIT training.

How about posting what you do now? Then we could have something to look at and say something about...

You should keep your set range between 3 or 4 the rep range between 6 and 12, that's what i do for chest, for example.

i like to keep my shit mixed up.. post your routine

[puremeet]

for example for my chest i will do

decline bench
flat bench pres
incline bench pres
flat dunbel pres
decline pec dex
flat pec dec
cabul flyes

i do 5 reps at the moment because ime trying to gain
and i can do up to 8-10 sets for eatch

[Mygeeto]

dude just stick to dumbell flyes, flat and incline bench presses...you too much finese, not enough savage

Ok, pardon my saying so, not disrespect etc, but this is insane. If you do 8-10 sets for each then you could potentially be doing 70 sets. Perhaps you mean this is a selection of excercises from which you choose a few to do sets on? Here's what to do. Pick a main excercise, something compound and hard that you enjoy, like normal bench press. Do 5 sets of it. Now, pick a second excercise that you enjoy doing. Do 3 more sets for that. Now, where are you weak? Pick a third excercise based on that weakness and do 2-3 sets to address your weakness. So for example what I'm doing for Chest, Tris and Shoulders is:

Bench: 5 sets of whatever rep regime Im working that period.

Incl. Bench: 3 sets like above

Shoulder Dumbbell Raises: 2-3 sets " "

hey bro,, how old are you?, if that is the routine your doing then one word comes to mind,, overtraining.. back off a bit and perform your basic chest moves, flat bench, incline bench, either barbell or dbell, scrap the decline bench and cable flyes,, alternate flyes with the barbell or dbell benching.. those are your mass building moves..

Pick a main excercise, something compound and hard that you enjoy, like normal bench press. Do 5 sets of it. Now, pick a second excercise that you enjoy doing. Do 3 more sets of an excercise that targets those. Now, where are you weak? Pick a third and do 2-3 set to address your weakness. So for example what I'm doing is:

Tricep Cable Pushdowns: 2 sets " "

problem solved. also i think reps are in order here
