Posted by Jeremy on December 2, 2005, 2:30 am, in reply to "Re: train each muscle once per week" quote "Point is, I'm pretty tuckered out after this workout" A full body work out with around 1 exercise, 3 sets of 10, hitting all of the upper body muscles, used to zap all of my energy but naturally, as time went on this became easier, I would finish the work out and still feel like I was ready for more, plus, no pain the next day. My full body work out eventually lasted up to 2 hours 30 mins. It was time to move on to something more intense, so I started hitting 2 muscles per day, workouts lasted from an hour to an hour and a half, I felt zapped and sore the next few days. I accept what your saying about too many sets and it has been in the back of my mind. But what used to zap me no longer does the job, after my work outs I always feel like I could do one(atleast) more exercise per muscle, so I usually do something unusual (for me) like an "up down" set for example. My goal is to gain strength and size and Ideally, I want my routine to push my muscles to the max, as opposed to doing a little extra. I would like to find out more about "over doing it" with the sets, I dont really understand it unless of course, you have been training for 2 weeks and decide to hit your Bi's with 10 sets.... Do you have a link to the article? Thanks
