General training question

[Slyder190]

For a natural (for right now) guy, is 9 sets for bi's and tri's and 6 sets for traps too much once aweek. I do about 12 sets for chest and back with rest at 1min for small bodyparts and 2 min for big ones. I do alternate and drop to like 6 sets and 9 sets respectively. Thanks.

Personally I would cut back on your arms. Arms get alot of indirect training and they are a small muscle group.

True. If you group chest/tri's together, your tri's should already have a good pump in them going into the tri work. 5 to 7 good intense sets should do them in. Go for quality instead of quanity.

Are you doing nine sets for each, or nine sets combined?

It's like this...

Nine sets for each. Tris/shoulders, chest/bi's.

I don't think that's too much. I generally do three excercises for each body part, 3-4 sets each. However, I think anymore than that is too much.

If you're working chest/tri's together and back/bi's together, nine sets on bi's & tri's might be a bit much. Try dropping to 6 sets each.
