How many is a lot of sets compared to most people?
For example chest/triceps I'm hitting 8 reps 5 sets of 8-13 machine/exercises.
And I would like to lose some fat but at the same time I want to gain muscle
Hey guys, new to the whole forums thing but after 2-3 months I
Thought I would sign up to one and increase my knowledge about
Anything anyone has to offer
I currently go to the gym 5 times a week, (Friday Saturday off as I work
Long night hours both night)
But after reading through a fair few posts I have found
I'm doing ALLOT of sets compared to most people.
In the last few months I have lost a fair bit of weight and toned up a bit
(Currently 6"3 115kg)
My question is should I scrap what I have been doing and start a simpler routine? As I currently spend between 1.30-2hours in the gym a night.
If it makes a difference I can post up my whole current workout
Thanks in advance guys
Try two exercises on compound lifts, and then one isolation if your looking more towards a bodybuilding routine
E.g - 4sets of Flat Bench (1st set is warmup), 3sets of Incline Dumbbell Bench, then choose a single isolation exercise to finish with a nice pump (crossovers, flys, etc)
Leg could be
Squats 5x5, then Leg Press followed by extensions
Go heavy on the compound exercises to build the strength and go lighter with higher reps on the isolation exercises for a final pump.
On smaller muscle groups like triceps. I would only do something like Dips or Overhead extensions, then finish up with Rope Pull downs. Don't even need 3sets because the muscle isn't as large as something like a quad or pec.
