just wondering the workout system. I know everyones different with strength but four or five sets especially at 20 reps for many is alot...Id like to see what the majority might be doing. Thanks

Heh, 5 sets if you are training each bodypart once per week, is nothing--assuming you've been doing it for longer than a couple of months. If you are only training a part once a week, you can BLAST it--it will still recover in 7 days easily.

Now if they are dropsets x3, with forced reps in each, pyramided, with 60 second rests, that sounds more like it . . .

I've trained before but am in my 10th week this bout:

Typical Chest:
6 DB Bench press, slight incline--15-8 reps all with forced and dropped sets
4 cable flyes
4 pec deck

Typical Back
6 Lat pulls 15-6 reps all to failure with forced reps
6 low cable rows 15-8 reps all to failure with forced reps
3 DB overhead lifts

Typical Arms:
Superset: BB EZ curls and lying tri extensions w EZ bar.
6 sets, 15-6 with forced reps
4 DB concentration curls supersetted with 4 cable tri ext.
4 reverse grip cable tri ext.

Legs:
5 leg press 15-8
6 calf raises 20-15
5 leg extensions 15-8
5 leg curls 15-8

Hope it helps

Edwin
