WORKOUT TIP
Question:
Should I do three sets of each exercise?
Comments:
There's nothing wrong with -- or magical about -- doing three sets. But the number of sets you perform shouldn't be determined by a default recommendation. Here's a rule of thumb: The more repetitions of an exercise you do, the fewer sets you should perform, and vice versa. This keeps the total number of reps you do of an exercise nearly equal, no matter how many repetitions make up each set.
Recommendation:
If you're doing eight or more reps, keep it to three sets or less. If you're pounding out less than three reps, you should be doing at least six sets.
