When training a body part once a week I prefer around 12 sets during a reload and around 6 sets during a deload. Go to good failure on every set. You must train with great intensity during each set but no so much that you injure yourself. Diet must be right to gain lean muscle mass!
I agree entirely! Waiting that long between sets will seem like it takes forever and will definatley cause your workouts to be longer, but it's well worth it imo... For those who say your intensity is shot by this method have obviously never tried it properly... It's not the pace of your exercises, it's the intesity you invest in every rep of every set!
