Not counting a warm-up, I would do one set to failure and move on to the next excercise.
A newbie cant focus enough to take the body to failure, so one set is not enough.

The thing is its just not the ability to focus but also curbing their enthusiasm, given free reign most if not all newbies would be in the gym for a couple of hours so better to lay down an EXACT scheme and then they are more likely to follow it then ask for upgrades later on..

Cookie, how many times a week do you sugest they train lets say chest?

I would suggest 2-3 times

Do they train the whole body in one workout? If so how many times a week per body part for the newbie?

This ties in with the above reply....wholebody workouts 2-3 times per week are ample for most people for the first couple years training, some even prefer them period.

Work it Cookie............lol.

Don`t I always
