Making sets & reps

@jblackburn54 asked: Explain making sets. How many sets and reps should I be doing?

This is an awesome question that I’m sure many people have when developing their exercise regimen.

First, take into consideration that different muscle groups require challenging sets in order to build new muscle.

For beginners, I would recommend 10 sets per muscle group, which can be broken up in different sessions per week. The number of reps can be anywhere from 5 to 30 but I wouldn’t recommend going that high in reps due to cardio becoming a factor and psychological fatigue. It requires a lot of discipline to take 30 reps to failure.

I would recommend starting with an 8 to 15 rep range and, week-over-week, either add another rep or add weight so that you stay in your appropriate rep range.

Thanks for info, so many sites give different answers, some say no sets at all but just max amount of lifts.
Sets seem what most people like you recommend currently doing 3 sets of 12 reps with 16lb dumb bells, and do that twice a day.
