Yeah, I just got done working out my deltoids, and i am wondering if 6 sets is enough. They feel pretty worked, but not like my pecs on chest day when they are sore 3 days after.

Your muscles don't recognize a certain number of sets, or even a particular weight that you use, they recognize stress. If 6 sets is enough to FULLY fatigue the muscle then that is enough sets. If you don't feel fatigued, then you need more.

shoulders seem to take a lot of sets for me and a lot of other people, even if you use heavy weight and go to failure, but do what works for you.

Same here, I do upwards of 12 sets per bodypart. Seems to work really well for me.

Also a good point. Also, I don't believe your entire body will respond as well to the same style of training. Try everything and see what works best for which body parts.

Same here. I military press 75kg for 2 sets of 10, making 2.5kg increases ALMOST every week. Hopefully I'll be doing 100kg for ten by January.Originally posted by AimHighUSAF

Damn, that's fast progression Shane. Progression in pressing movements is usually between 1&2lbs a week or so (so I have found anyway). You must be gifted, at least in the press, to be able to add that much weight to the bar on a regular basis whilst keeping tight form.
PeaceMy progress goes up and down more frequently than a whore at work, but I still love to lift.

I've been on the HIT program for about 5 weeks now, and am still gaining HEAPS of strength weekly. Maybe I'm gaining so much strength because I've severely cut down on sets and exercises (compounds only).Originally posted by HIT is best
