    Not enough? Yea, were on the same page as far as a set. 8-10 for small muscle groups (bi, shoulder ect) and 10-12 for large (legs, back ect) What do u recomend?
    8-10 sets is only two exercises, maybe three if your sets for each exercise is 3.

    I would use 12 sets min for each mucsle group. So if you're doing CHEST for instance, i would do Incline DB for 4 sets, Flat BB for 4 sets, and Include DB flys for 4 sets. You also include cable crossovers for the last 3 sets to really burn the chest. That would be a total of 15 sets. But i would include that, maybe, every second time i do chest - depending on my goals.

    Ok, I guess I'll have to step it up a bit. I was always under the impression that amount of sets was sufficient.

    IMO, on or off cycle, no.

    During PCT, with increased intensity, yes.
