How many sets do you do while on gear

[VictorBR]

monday - chest - 15 sets
thusday - backs - 15 sets
wednesday - legs - 18 sets
thursday - OFF
friday - shoulders - 12 or 15 sets
saturday - arms - 12 sets for bis and 12 sets for tris
sunday - OFF

I do 3 sets for 1 exercise , so 15 sets means 5 different exercises , 12 means 4 and so on .

I do that when off and when on I do the same just with much more intensity and heavier weights ...

I love drop setting for bi's. 3 sets to get blood flowing. 2 allout drop sets. 3 light sets to keep pump. Basically 2 heavy sets but each drop set goes: 105x5,90x5,75x5,60x5,45x5,30x5 alt curl and alt hammer curl... some days I do 2's and drop in 10lb increments. Insane pumps even natty.

Chest, Shoulders, Back, Legs all get 16 sets of 6-12 reps depending on weight being used during each set.

Since Biceps and Triceps are much smaller and get work throughout the week, the get 8-9 sets with 6-12 reps depending on weight being used during each set.

The same number that I do while off gear. If it works off cycle, it will work on cycle.

so can u do the same weight on or off gear?

so can u do the same weight on or off gear?

Not really, it is off a bit, but then again the way I train, weight is never a priority for me.

Same amount of sets whether on or off.

If you can't wipe the floor with your bodypart in 4 sets then you should consider rethinking your program or intensity level ... too many guys spent way to long recovering between sets .

Catch your breath and go again .. you want to get back ontop of that muscle before it gets a chance to recover inorder to get at the deep fibers that will cause the most growth ..

REMEMBER IT HAS " NOTHING TO DO WITH WEIGHT " BUT EVERYTHING TO DO WITH INTENSITY !!!!!!

I've seen pro's doing forced bicep dumbell curls with as little as 20 lb'ers ! after the muscle was defeated with a prior set .

30 sets with dropsets? Must be getting a killer workout from those 35lbers...

I vary my workload, wave in more volume when I feel good and my recovery factors are in order and if I'm doign cumulative fatigue work - and I drop the workload when I'm burned out or need to focus on getting my max's up. It varies from anywhere from 2-16 sets an area.

I usually aim for about 15-20 sets and 8-12 reps a set.
