sets
it seems as everyone i talk to is taking protein like crazy or creatine, or both- and they seem to be doing many more sets then are recommended here and lift too often as well: but still seem to be getting very good gains...... for myself i take 40g of protein everyday i lift, eat alot and eat reasonably healthy- I was wondering how many sets i should do, per body part with the fact that i am not taking creatine. and . if im working out often enough and all that... right now
chest ( 9-10 sets) tri's (7 sets)
back (10 sets)
off
shoulders (9 sets)
legs (12 sets) bi's 6 (sets
off
off
and what is everyones opinion on static holds on the end of every workout...

4 - 5 sets for chest or back or legs? maybe for one exercise....
I am in your same set range, jada-
I was doing more, but have backed off to about 9 - 11 sets for large muscles, maybe more for legs...bigger muscles.
I do less for smaller muscles, such as bis or tris.
Now, if you were to hit the same body part twice in the same week..yeah, go for less sets..but you are only hitting the muscle once per week...
Do you know how many grams of protein you are taking totally? have you read the stickys in the diet section?Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results

Most BB's take more than 40g of protein per meal!! You need atleast 1.5 to 2g per lb of bodyweight. You need to hold your total sets per body part to 8-10.

oh yeah......
go to the diet section. get an idea.
like DG said, how much doyou weigh in at? You want at least 1 - 1.5 grams of protein per pound you weigh.
That can be quite a lot.
Eggs do not have a whole lot of protein in them..unless you eat several at once.
this gets a lot more complicated thatn I am capable of correctly telling you.
Read the info, if cannot get a goo idea from that and then asking the nutricion experts here, then I'd suggest going to a nutricionist near you and have them show you and such.Success leaves clues. People who produce outstanding results do specific things to create those results
