1-3 warmup sets depending on how strong you are at the lift and if you have fucked up joints or prior injuries
>not strong and no badness, 1 warmup set
>strong OR some badness, 2 warmup sets
>strong AND some badness, 3 warmup sets
After that 2-3 sets pushed to failure or on the edge of it is plenty
>>
>>76952446
3 sets and last set is amrap
>>
>>76952446
0 warm up sets
8 sets per exercise
3-4 exercises per workout
possible to do monstersets and add extra sets if you still have energy

2 sets is enough to go absolutely ham on because you have the opening set, where you're fresh so you go hard, and the final set, where there is no more afterwards, so you go hard

If you're a high intensity train to failure WANGHAF type of guy then 2 sets will do you good

3 sets adds a middle set to the mix which tends to be the most psychologically challenging because you're no longer fresh after the first set but you still have one more set to go, so intensity on the first 2 sets tends to suffer as you're subconsciously saving yourself

4+ sets i wouldn't bother with, just do a different exercise
