[depo12]

How many exercises do you guys do per muscle group? I always feel like I didn't do enough and I end up lifting for like 60-90 minutes

[brad71983]

biceps - 4 exercises
chest - 4 exercises
shoulders -4
triceps -4
back - 5
legs - 4

12-14 sets each muscle, with back having a few more

[Pen0r]

2-3 for small bodyparts

3-4 for large

[I_love_crows]

About 4 exercises. Workouts last for about 60 min.

[SwagMorris]

Chest-3
Back- 3-4
Delts 2-3
Triceps 2
Biceps 2
Thighs 3-4
Calves 1

All depends on my current split

when you guys refer to "small muscles", which ones are you talking about?

do you switch the exercises that you do every week? because clearly there are way more than 3-4 for each muscle

small: bicep, tricep, shoulders (all 3 parts)

large: Chest, back (upper, mid and lower), legs


I keep the large exercises, the bread and butter ones if you will. BB curls, Squats, heavy rows, deadlifts, incline press, etc, etc etc and will switch in/out the more isolation type exercises to mix things up.

[Meni]

Chest - 4
Back - 6
Shoulders - 4
Legs 5
Triceps 4
Biceps 4

thanks guys

[donbooger]

I aim for a time limit of 1hr for legs, 1hr back, 40 for chest, 1 hr for arms, 40 mins for shoulder and abs.

Make sure at the end of this time your crawling from the gym and your work is done.

[Kate~]

Geeze ya'll have it down! I do somewhere between 3-4..thought you may want a girls opinion..HA

[b0ngman]

today i did heavy db rows and face pulls only for my left shoulder

[RU4A69]

Between 1 and 3

[depo12]

Between 1 and 3

how could you feel as if you made any gains doing 1 set


How many of you guys switch up the exercises every time you work that muscle group? or do you keep the same 3-4?

[keepshruggin]

Chest - 6 sets
Back - 6 sets
Traps - 2 sets
Biceps - 4 sets
Triceps - 4 sets
Shoulders - 4 sets

I've tried higher volume, but for me it did nothing. I like pouring all my strength into two working sets per exercise.
