How many sets do U guys do???
how many sets for big bodyparts do u guys do, and how many sets for small bodyparts do u guys do while on cycle in each workout???
And how many sets do u guys do while off a cycle for big and small bodyparts??
I usually do 16-20 sets for big bodyparts (chest, back, shoulders, quads), 12-16 sets for small bodyparts (bicep, tricep, hamstrings), 8-10 sets for calves, and 3 excercises for abs. I do this all while off a cycle
I wanna know what u guys think.. U think its too much, too little, or just right???

If I'm doing HIT though (restpause, forced reps and drop sets etc), I would do one set per exercise consisting of three exercises. So that would be 3 sets per bodypart, regardless of size.Last edited by Flexor; 12-25-2005 at 04:14 PM.

Right on bro..you keep beating me to it!...People spend so much time and sets on chest, when it is a small bodypart in comparison to the back i do 9 sets tops for chest usually dips, a pressing movement and flyes..and shoulders are small as well so i throw them in there with chest. same triceps are bigger than bi's but ppl focus so hard on getting their bi's to "peak" that the neglect their tri's and are not proportionate

I usually stick to 12 or so for big bodyparts and 6-8 for smaller. Shoulders are a small bodypart.

You need to do 4 different excersises to hit all the heads so i consider it a large muscle group, but size wise, ya they're small.

Well, like flexor and many others said, the front and rear heads are hit enough with Chest and Back exercises, respectably. I did do front and rear raises on shoulder days and they and many others told me to ditch them. The shoulder group is large as a whole but I'm mainly limiting it to medial right here.

Rear raises are BS. There is shitty leverage when your arms are far out which means you can't complete a full ROM.

I give shoulders their own day and do 12 sets, 6 of those to failure with as much weight as possible.
