| | | If you're looking for strength I see nothing wrong with what you're doing, if you're going for size, than raise the reps to 10, and lower the weight. |

| | | I would change it up almost everytime. Sometimes more reps or less and sometimes more sets or less and change up the weight. |

| | | wow goldy i love your math lol. Like others have said, if you are trying to gain size try like 3 sets of 8-12 reps. Its really that simple. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
