Fitness people, how many sets of exercises in total do you do on your workout day?

It really depends on what muscle groups I want to workout. So it can vary greatly. But I always try & stick to 3-5 sets per muscle group I want to work.

[Chazmatazz269]

Usually just one run. I haven’t made other exercises habit yet, but i’m sprinkling in some push-ups, leg raises and crunches enough to be uncomfortably sore more often than i’d like. Ell oh ell!

[Anonymous]

For compound movements I usually do 1 warmup set followed by 4-6 actual sets. For others I stick to just 3-4 sets.

[D_Bone_Steak]

Currently, it's 19 because I switched to 1 set of 12 reps full body. Before it was a pull/push/legs split and it was more like 6...3 sets of 12-10-8 for reps.

[notwoke]

28 sets - 8 sets of core/stretching and 20 sets of weights in a workout. 3 muscles groups in a work out so for example:

8 sets of core/stretches

8 sets of chest

6 sets of abs

6 sets of shoulders

[GoesbyAndrew]

I do at least 18 in total. I make sure to target every muscle area at least twice. So for example, the back.

[GoesbyAndrew]

Shit, I just realized I hit send before I meant to finish. Anyways, the back I target 3 times. I'll do lat pull-down, row, then machine lat pull-down.

[DavidRaul]

20-24 sets per muscle group per week, for maximum gains. Anything exceeding that nunbers is just a waste

[DavidRaul]

*number

[Asker]

Per week? Or per day?

[DavidRaul]

20-24 sets per week for each muscle group. Suppose, if you are training back twice in a week. 10 sets in each session

[Asker]

I do like 4 exercises each 5 sets every day.
So its 20 sets a day

[DavidRaul]

You train each muscle once a week?

[Asker]

No. Lol
For example I do butt work out 5 days a week

[DavidRaul]

No that won't do any good. It will kill your gains

[DavidRaul]

Try training every muscle of your body which would evenly tone and you would gain significant muscles in your glutes

[DavidRaul]

Do 3 excercies , 4 sets each and try to hit it twice a week

[Asker]

But ot sounds too few. I am afraid I won't get good results

[DavidRaul]

No its actually not. I have researched on this, believe me. More isn't better. there's a graph which states maximum gains at these number of sets. After that , you will achieve gains but not as much as within that particular range. It will be slow

[DavidRaul]

Also try to hit two muscle groups in a week. 4 excercies 3 sets each. This would exhaust you and achieving those gains

*in a day

[BHooper]

• 3 sets of biceps curls.
• 3 sets of dumbbell lateral pullovers.
• 50 situps.
• 1.5 minute plank.
• 30 Minutes jump rope.
• As many push ups as I can do until my arms are weak.
• Boxing until I'm exhausted.

Shallow chest breathing too, huh? Always happens when anterior muscles are that much more developed than posterior.

[BHooper]

Huh?

[globetrotter22]

I’ve been doing CrossFit lately. It’s short but intense.

[EaterPeter]

I have no Idea. Each exercise 1 to 4 sets.

[icetome]

one set till muscle failure

[Guy__]

Always changing.

I wouldn't have an exact number. For many reasons. What is your goal, bigger muscles?
And simply because most people get physical activity and stress outside of gym exercises, you can't, nor do you need to always hit the same numbers each time.

[QuietRunner]

I do 5x5
