How many sets per body part do I train?

Mike Mentzer: 20 sets? Is that for the entire year right?

Prime Jay is just the embodiment of early 2000s gym culture. The old clips are nostalgic.

You want real advice with no BS? Jay is The Man!

[clydeneedham]

He is just so enjoyable to listen to, just simple instruction

[Tubefish]

Got to give it to Jay. A lot of body builders die or look totally shot out after their careers end but he seems to have found a safer way!

I like watching your videos because you’re real!! No Bs. …. And yes 20 sets 4 exercises are a lot….. but you get there when you get there . !!!!

I love these educational vids from Jay.
He's got great insights

Clarification: 20 sets on a bro split, so 20 sets once a week

Jay what i like that you're always a builder, not a lifter...))) respect)))

Feel sets, that was a great point! Getting the Mind muscle connection dialed back in for the training.

When he was 18, he looked 36 now he's in his 40's now he looks 35

This is fantastically simplified, which is a good thing. Makes the workouts seem a lot easier.

I guess I need to add another movement to each exercise. I average 16. I use a 4x4 method so I will try out a 5x4 method and see how I feel afterwards.

If your natty you probably won’t be able to handle that much volume, especially in one workout

Larry Scott also favored 20 Sets a Bodypart.

i do 4 workouts per split: ie. shoulders/back day:
1. seated lateral raises 4x12
2. smith press 4x8
3. shrugs or upright rows 4x10
4. frontal raises or cable pulls 4x12

1. lateral pulldowns.
2. some form of seated row
3. pull-ups
4. bent row/variant of bent row

ive been wanting my shoulders to grow recently so sometimes i’ll do a 5th movement.

I must say I love Jay his legit and super humble Ronnie a little more funny and just as humble but I've been inspired at the age of 38 to prep myself for the next 10 years and been fortunate to put on 6 kgs in 6 weeks of gym trained last 14 years back befor my son was born but rolling back the clock

I do a HIT burn out set with between 30-35 reps and I keep upping the weight every 6 days when I next work out that body part. After the first burn out set I’m barely able to lift light weight and if I had the time I could see myself doing 20 sets but I try to keep it under 35 mins bc of my schedule before work. I can get 5 exercises in during this time. I do like one good set to failure or almost failure and then the next 3-5 are really rather pathetic where it can hurt to do the bar on the last set. I’ve gone up 16 lbs on my estimated squat max in 30 days or 6 workouts. I try to get my whole body every 6 days and do the bro split. But yeah in this video I can’t imagine doing 20+ sets that’s like either there’s a lot of rest in between or just the bar is gonna be heavy at the end
