6-9 working sets a muscle group works good for me, but everyone is different

[asvt]

I genrally do 6-8 sets for small muscle groups and 9-10 for big muscle groups.

Biceps: 6-8
Triceps: 6-8
Shoulder: 9-10
Chest: 9-10
Back: 9-10
Hams: 6
Calf: 4
Quad: 8
Abs: 4

Thanks for good answering.
I will look into this, as i tend to overkill bicep (as most people do..)

[JAYROD]

i'm near asvt's #'s here. i'll go a little higher on tri's and calves but it really ***ends on how heavy i'm going that day and if i'm supersetting.

I don't count, I just go until I feel i'm satisfied with what i've done, which is pretty much til failure. I may manipulate the weight up or down. Every body is different so there is no 'rule' to go by.

[Obs]

6-8 is the standard. I like to go till failure x3 with high reps on my abs in hopes of keeping off the gut.

Bigger Muscle groups, i go 8-12 sets
Smaller, usually 5-7 sets

For the last 3 years or so (not counting this past year) I have always trained with very very high volume seeing results from the bold numbers above

I now have been doing the HIT method the past year and am only doing 3 sets per bodypart twice a week using one exercise....a huge difference in what im used to...but i am responding none the less, as now i am getting stronger heavier and blockier with my muscles as i bulk b4 i was gaining density and separation from my workouts

[l2elapse]

ive actually found doing around 8 per big muscle group and 6 per small works very well for me

[Doc.Sust]

6 to 9 for major movemnets (squats, press and deadlift) and 3 to 6 for minor muscle groups, (bi's, tris etc etc ) it is different for everyone, there is no right answer to this question. ***ends on the individual
