How To Do Your Workout Sets

How to do your workout sets and reps to make your muscles grow faster. Natural bodybuilding advice.

Repetitions This means, how many times you moved. For example.. if you did 10 push-ups, that would be 10 repetitions.

Workout Sets If you did 10 push-ups then rested, those 10 push-ups as a whole, would be considered 1 set. 1 set of 10 repetitions.

How to do your weight lifting sets properly, to build muscle faster.

Each time you perform, let's say, 10 repetitions, and you are not physically capable of doing anymore, that would be considered one set.

Now, after you've done let's say... bench presses, for 10 reps, and rested for 2 minutes, that would be considered one set of 10 repetitions.

For every movement that you choose, such as dumbbell curls, you'll want to perform around 3 or 4 sets to really engage the muscle.

The stress you put on your muscles will most certainly force them to grow.

So each time you hear us talk about sets, you'll know that we are talking about performing 1 set of a certain amount of repetitions.

(Set 1- 10 reps.) (Set 2- 8 reps.) (Set 3- 6 reps.) (Set 4- 4 reps.)

You've just done 4 sets...

4 sets is a good range for every exercise that you choose.

You should spend a good deal of attention on every single body part for good symmetry, and for a well rounded, developed physique.

Each body part should have special attention spent toward it.

The major body parts are..

  • Shoulders.
  • Back.
  • Traps.
  • Chest.
  • Abdominals.
  • Obliques.
  • Biceps.
  • Triceps.
  • Forearms.
  • Thighs.
  • Hamstrings.
  • Glutes.
  • Calves.

    Throughout the week, you should be hitting each of these body parts at least once in a 7 day period.

    Each body part should be given a special amount of attention for a well rounded physical appearance.

    The way to do this, is to pick 4 exercises for each body part, and do 4 workout sets for each. That's a simple way to get you started.

    There's no need to do everything in one day. Try splitting up the body parts throughout the week, to ensure that you are giving each body part a good amount of attention, for overall well rounded physical development.

    You can simplify the list above by categorizing body parts to the respected main body part, for example..

    Day1-Biceps, triceps, and forearms can all be done together in one day and be considered- Arms.

    Day2-off

    Day3-Calves, glutes, hamstrings, thighs can all be done together in one day and be considered- Legs.

    Day4-off

    Day5-Shoulders, back, traps, abdominal, obliques, can all be done together in one day and be considered- back, shoulders, and abs.

    Day6-off

    Day7-Chest..

    Repeat.

    Do 4 sets for every exercise.
