But routine set up aside, what do you view as high, moderate & low set volume for a bodypart per week?
I dont mean sets per a particular exercise, or total sets performed in a workout but I mean total work sets for a particular bodypart including all exercises for that muscle per week eg:
4 sets bench press
4 sets chest dips
4 sets incline flyes
= a total of 12 total work sets for chest.
Here are my thoughts. The sets Iv suggested are direct work sets per bodypart, per week, depending on goal and other variables.
Strength, 2-6 sets. Strength/Hypertrpohy, 3-9 sets. Hypertrophy, 6-16 sets.
I would be real curious what you Mark or Kyle think on the above?
Thx!
