If i military press 4 or 5 sets of 9 reps, will my muscles be affected in any bad way because the sets might be a little high? I look at alot of peoples routines and they usually do 3 sets in their workouts.
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.
and it depends on the intensity being used. are those 4-5 sets to failure? Are those sets 1-2 reps shy of faillure as a way to try and increase muscular tension over a greater amount of time (4-5 sets), etc.....Lots of variables to consider.
