 | sets.reps/weight Hi lads just had a question, at the moment i dont have a set set and rep range for all exercises some of my routine is 6x10 and some 5x5 dependant on the exercise and weight, my question is should i have the same set and rep range for all exercises and for the more easy ones up the weight put just keep to the same set rep cheers. |

  | Re: sets.reps/weight Personally i go for 8-10 on everything, but if a muscle group responds better to a different rep range, or you enjoy a different rep range then do it i say.

| Re: sets.reps/weight Higher reps, less sets, less rest time as a rough suggestion 3 x 8, 10 or 12 in the main but there are loads of ways to do it and loads of different theories on muscle groupings 3 x 10 and you wont go too far wrong as a new trainer

| Re: sets.reps/weight some of it is ok shoulder day is bad, horrible in fact...10 sets of upright rows and the day after deads. shoulders will work off military press, db seated press and shrugs deads can go first on back day and pyramid down on your sets, swap lat pull down for chins, lower bicep work more leg work, sldls being ideal, drop calf work volume down and work more hams dont need 6 sets of bench dips, do 3-4 of chest dips thats working with what you have rather than doing what i would go for, but if you want subtle changes, there are some
