Thomas, better recheck your rep ranges. 8-12 is NOT ideal for strength, better for hypertrophy according to almost all sources. Strength is usually in the 1-6 rep range. Was going to comment on that in your reply to Diane. Now, that being said and clarified, I would use multiple sets in the 1-6rep range for strength, 8-12 range for hypertrophy, and yes, after a warmup set or two,go with one-two top "work sets. With conditioning, strength, strength-endurance in mind, my rep range would be all over the radar with multiple sets. Tim --Previous Message-- : why doesn't anybody use the single set? I could see the point if : you're doing 5 or 3 reps... you'd need to do multiple sets I : suppose but for strength training at 8-12 reps it's ideal. : Thomas :
