I was taking a look at Ian King's Book of Muscle, put out by Men's Health. He has a really comprehensive program in it with different programs based on whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced lifter. In most of the programs, he advocates doing circuits and usually only one set of each exercise in the circuit. He starts the first weeks with sets of 10, and then has different phases in the workouts where he drops you to 4 or 6 at times.
For someone who has been dabling in weight training for about a year and is now starting to get more serious, how do you choose what kind of workout to do? The King one looks great, but the one here on FT, which generally does less exercises, but more sets, looks fine too. Is it a case of not being able to go wrong? or of it just depending on your body type?
