Should i do mixed muscle lifts vs focused lifts?

[snoitat]

Hi all,

Beginners question.


With my current online training plan, I'm working muscle groups by alternating exercises. For example, for biceps I'll do


Pronated Curls - 8-12 reps + rest
Curls - 8-12 reps + rest
Hammer Curls 8-12 reps + rest

Then I'll do that again 2-3 times. So I'm still doing 3-4 sets of Hammer Curls (for example) but with other bicep exercises in between.

My question is, am I better off doing 4 sets of Pronated Curls,THEN moving onto 4 sets of Curls, THEN moving onto 4 sets of Hammer Curls?

Hope that makes sense?

Thanks!

Hmmmm, do you have enough sets of curls?

If you're able to complete 12 sets of 8-12 reps for your biceps in one workout, it suggests that the intensity of each set is lower than it should be.

Limit yourself to 4-6 sets of curls once or twice each week. Limit yourself to 1-2 variations each time. Be sure the intensity level is high - go very close to failure, to failure, or beyond failure on at least 1 set of each exercise, and the other sets shouldn't be too far from failure either.

It doesn't matter if you alternate exercises or do them sequentially - it's completely unimportant.

Better off doing fierce 5 or all pros. No one wants to hear it but the truth hurts. Don’t turn into a 20 year beginner.

I just do 4 sets of curls a week. But I'm a feeble little 55 year old guy as you can see.
