Average amount of sets per muscle group

DriDDeRz · Jun 23, 2009

What would be the Average to maximum use of sets with each muscle group?

Skeptic · Jun 24, 2009

I'd probs average about 7ish per muscle group.

Zigurd · Jun 24, 2009

Over 9000 for biceps/pecs

Who cares about the rest.

Natureboypkr · Jun 24, 2009

It depends on which muscle group and the individual. I'm only speaking for myself on this one. For larger muscle groups like legs, chest, and back I tend to use higher volume (depending on the day) at around 15 sets. For smaller muscle groups I use around 10-12 sets.

I train by how I feel so I never have a exact amount of sets I use per body part.

For legs probably 20+, Chest and back about 15-20, tris about 10 and bis and abs around 4-6.

Sets???

Depends.

More about how many reps and the like you can fit into a session.

Plenty of weightlifting research to say that about an hour is the max effective training time. So if you do a set a minute (unlikely but hey) then you are looking at a max of 60 sets.

Also are you including warmups? Are you including sets below productive (60% for beginers, 75% for everone else).

DriDDeRz · Jun 24, 2009

well anywhere between 6 - 12 reps
not including warm up sets

here is a rough idea of what i currently do

Chest - 12 sets
back - 12 sets
shoulders - 12 sets

Chest - 9

Back - 11

Legs - 9

rest - 7

biceps - 4-6
legs - 16-18
shoulders - 8-10

reps: at least 6 and not more than 10

20 for all muscles. Beeger ones like legs, back, even 20+ sets.
High volume and high weights is name of the game ... imo :thumbsup2:

i like to do anywhere between 10-20 sets on chest over the course of the week with at least double the ammount of sets for back

everything else would be lucky to receive 6 sets a week.
