Thread: Too many sets

I only do 2 and Im fine.

It depends on the entire workout....what else do you do that hits that muscle?

I do 4 sets of military press and then 3-4 more of another deltoid movement, also bench and incline hit the delts so if you do chest first then delts you have to watch the # of total sets

Ive done the presses for 4 sets for a little while, but yesterday i took it down to 3 sets because i was blowing out my shoulders too much before my other exercises, and that hindered the rest of the routine.

If you can get through your workout keeping good form with 4 sets, i see no reason not to do 4 sets of them. If you have problems with over-exhausting them like i did, drop it down to 3.

he only does 1 exercise a day, look at his sig.

That is not a good program

I sometimes do 4-5 sets of an exercise. It really depends on the rest of your program.
