I was asked a question today on YouTube - Why do you do 5 sets for each muscle? I've been told by many different professional lifters, personal trainers and just people who have been working out for years to do 3 exercises on each muscle, 3 sets of 8 reps.
My answer - There will always be a difference of opinion on how much you should do. I do what is good for me and each person must do the same. We are all different. I have tried many different ways and this I have found best for me. I try to show how to do the exercise and let each person decide for themselves how much or little they want to do. Remember I only do 5 sets for biceps in total. I do not do 5 sets of a few different bicep exercises.
That means that to train Lats, for example, you would do 3 different types of exercises of 3 sets - that would now make 9 set of 8 reps. I do 5 sets of average 10 reps. Everyone has an opinion. The best is to do the exercise correctly and work out for yourself the weight and number of sets and reps that best suit you and never mind what anyone says. After all whose body are you training?
