Reply With Quoteusually 4-6 work sets with another 3 sets to really isolate and top off the target muscle. (but that's only 1/3 of my training cycle.)
chest for example, 1-2 warm up sets w/ db's. then say 3 work sets flat bench and 3 works sets incline bench. then i'll follow up with some kind of flyes to really burn it out.
just thought i'd give you a response.

HIT or MISS
How do you train? HIT? or are you geared towards volume training? or somewhere inbetween the ladder?

I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

I use Max-OT which only requires 6-9 totall sets, cause ya go really heavy in the 4-6 rep range, so i usually do about 8 sets for big bodyparts and 4 or 5 for smaller body parts

For a great HIT journal that progresses very well, try my brothers Duncans Donuts Journal.
He has used HIT successfully for the past year and a half or so and is incredibly strong and quite big as well. I know very few people who can deadlift 600 lbs."Show me a beautiful woman, and I'll show you a guy tired of screwing her"

I voted 7-9, but here is the breakdown:
Monday:
Chest x 8
Biceps x 6
Calves x 4
Abs x 3
Wednesday:
Quads x 8
Lats x 6
Forearms x 4
Abs x 3
Thursday:
Shoulders x 8
Hams x 6
Calves x 4
Traps x 3
Friday:
Back x 8
Triceps x 6
Forearms x 4
Abs x 3
I'm doing P-RR-S, so I do half the number of sets during shock week. If I am supposed to do 3 sets, than I do one triple dropset and call it a day.The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Because he doesn't understand the distinction between "quality" and "quantity"..
