>>76638782Big picture 2 is enough if they're taken to a clean failure. 3 is enough if it's there but maybe some partial rep was left in reserve. 4 is enough if you just have no idea and it just kind of won't go anymore. 5+ you have no idea it's at the end of your workout just gonna half ass these sets and call it when it hurts.
>>76638782very complicated issue.if you are an expert and u can properly stimulate ur muscle, then 3 is plenty. but if a particular set makes u feel more pumped and ur feeling good, then adding 1-2 extra sets can be good.if ur a novice, likw 99% of ppl i see at the gym without sufficient knowledge to fully isolate and/or stimulate muscle, then you certainly need more than 3 sets to practice and target the muscle fully.conclusion is that the lesser the junk volume, the more likely you will gain. but, not many ppl can fully stimulate the muscle properly so they need to do more.

>>76638782>he tracks his reps>he tracks his sets>he tracks his weightsI simply lift until I get pump.
>>76638802Can't blame him. Lifting content fell off
never needed more than 3 sets even when i was a beginner, it's simply enough
>>766387823 sets of 5 reps. 3x5 is all you need.
>>76638782I hate this fucking guy because he has some legitimately useful old videos like face pulls and talks a lot about reducing injury (inb4 Mets had a high injury season with him as coach), but then went full grifter.seeing one thumbnail like that and I would never click on any of his videos, even though he had useful stuff a long time ago.
>>76638782Sets, reps doesnt matter
>>76638782I do 5 x 5 on my compounds and 3x8-10 on my accessories. Best of both worlds! :)
>>76638782I do 3x10 on my lifts for the day, then do cardio, and after 30 min I do 2x6 at +10#is this dumb? I dont understand how this works. it doesnt matter if I rest 30 seconds or 90, seconds, I am totally gassed after 3x10, but only after like 30 fuckin min can I then get this extra strength???
>>76638931This is my favorite as well. Just seems to work.
I don't track anything.
>>76638990Very dumb yeah
I do 3 sets of 8 purely for time reasons. The tried and true method is 5x5 or 25 reps, with 3x8 I get damn close to 25 reps (seriously what difference is a single rep going to make) and spend less time on each exercise. Optimization!
>>76639258Yeah I can't be bothered to constantly set up, lift, rerack, rest, repeat for 5 whole sets. Just 3 sets and I'm done
>>76638931>3x5 is all you need.correct, but twice a week though
>>766387822
>>76638931wait what, ive been doing 3x8 for weeks now, i just started and my calibre app was telling me 3x8 for strength
did 4x12 with squats today
>>76638802a nigga needs to feed his family
>>76638802that's every single fitness influencer> go to gym, lift heavy weight regularly> eat properly> increase weightsthat's all you need to do forever. Everyone that says otherwise is an idiot masquerading as not an idiot

>>76639975there are blokes who cracked the code and just do "what if [insert random interesting shit related to lifting and health] like will tenn, the guys who slotted themselves into fitness talking heads ended up cornered by their lack of innovcation
>>76638886Post body
>>76638824Enough for what, though?
>>766387825x5 for strength4x12 for hypertrophy
