i see a lot of sample workouts posted that list maybe between 15-20 sets/day for the week, but no one mentions reducing in the 2nd week
when i read the articles they are saying for example do 20 sets/day in week 1 at low weight and 10 sets/day in week 2 at a higher weight (increasing load while reducing frequency)
during my first cycle i felt like i wasn't doing enough sets on the even weeks, i.e. i was doing 1 set of bench a day which is only 3 sets a week
any ideas on this?
and if this was my routine for week 1, how would you reduce sets for the week 2
bench x 2
incline x 1
mil press x 1
shrug x 1
tricep x 1
squat x 2
hamstring curl x 1
t-bar row x 2
ez curl x 1
calf raise x 1
here i have 13 sets total for the day broken down like this:
chest - 9, back - 6, legs - 12, shoulders - 6, arms - 6
i feel like this is good balance, but i don't want to over-do it on the even weeks since i'll be shooting for my maxes on the last day
thanks!
