| What are sets?
Sets are simply repetitions of repetitions. For example if you perform 12 reps of an exercise that is one set. If you then do 12 more reps that will be your second set. Not too complicated really (Could you repeat that? - Beeble).
How many sets should you perform per exercise?
This is where it can get confusing, the most popular answer to this question is usually three sets per exercise. Why? I have no idea, but like many exercise concepts in the past they stick until someone comes along with a group of scientists and proves it to be incorrect. Some people will train at five sets and others will just do the one but carry out many different exercises.img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Beebleblog/~4/jWHuR2MD0Wg" height="1" width="1"/ |

| When designing any program it is important to decide how many repetitions are needed for each exercise. To get this number you first need to understand what your goals are. When you know what you want to achieve then you can start designing a bespoke program that will really help you reach those goals.img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/Beebleblog/~4/A5xRa5SlJzM" height="1" width="1"/ |
