HOW MANY SETS

16 HOW MANY SETS
As with the number of reps in a set, there is no magic number of sets to perform in a workout. In time most bodybuilders discover what works best for them. Perform too many and you run the risk of overtrain- ing and burnout Perform too few and you won't ad- equately stimulate the muscles. Our advice is to start off by performing 6 to 8 sets total for bigger muscles like chest, back and legs, and 4 to 6 sets for smaller muscles like biceps and triceps.
