How many sets in this routine?

[quinjf28]

I am trying a new weight lifting routine and I would like to build some muscle and get stronger
what do you think about the following a routine?
Monday upper body
Tuesday cardio
Wednesday lower body
Thursday off
Friday upper body
Saturday lower body
Sunday cardio
how many sets would I need to do per day to make this work?

3 sets is always the standard and i've probably did 3 sets 80% of my lifetime of sets. i've also done 4 sets and 5 sets at most 99% of the time. on occasion 1% of the time i've done 10 sets of 1 exercise where i did 10X10. that was a crazy workout

Do 2-3 sets on your bigger compound lifts. and 4 reps on your iso's

I like to do 5-10 sets per bodypart minimum up to 20 sets on some days

bros at least 10 sets start there

 

[ROIDDERS]

20 sets is the sweet spot

 

[QuadSweep]

15-20 sets per bodypart

20sets for sure max out

5-10 sets enough if you work slow and tight the muscle

I'd look at what you do well on. Not some random number

Your schedule is effective, but make sure you do up to 20 sets per body part

for massive gains.....you should do hardcore training.......

Just play around with it and you will see what works for you. I like to train for roughly 45 minutes so I would base it around time and getting enough for each part in that total time.
