How Many Sets are to Build Muscle Mass

Suprisingly, this is a very common question amongst people trying to build more muscle. It seems that most people think there is a very straightforward answer to this question, but that is not actually the case. There is a common misconception that four sets for every workout is the rule of thumb, when in reality all this does is train your body to go no further. One of the key requirements to building more muscle is to add extra strain by increasing your overall workout.

As an example you may be already performing:

The Bench Press

1st Set - 115 lbs x 10 = Workout of 1150 lbs
2nd Set - 115 lbs x 10 = Total workload of 1150 lbs
3rd Set - 135 lbs x 8 = Workload of 1080 lbs
Fourth Set - 155 pounds x 6 = total workload of 930 pounds

Providing a total workload of 4310 pounds.

How Many Sets Does It Take To Build Muscle?

6?

It is not that simple to assess. The key to getting your muscles to continually grow, is to gradually increase your workload. Therefore if the bench press routine as outlined above is what you are doing, you really have two choices.

1. Increase reps using the same amount of weight, to increase your overall workload.
2. Simply add another set avoiding any sacrifice of the existing workload.

So now you understand how many sets to build muscle, don't you? Technically then, by spending two or three hours at your local gym, and adding more sets of five different exercises to your workout, you could end up completing ten sets easily. Realistcally speaking, three or five sets per workout is going to be plenty. Forget about getting too deeply concerned about how many sets to build muscle, rather look at the number of reps you need to do to achieve your goal. When this has been established, start your new workout with three sets, gradually increasing to five sets, then commence increasing your weight to push your overall workload.

One last thing to consider:

Remember that if you are targeting isolation groups of muscles like triceps, biceps, calves, and forearms, three sets might constitute over-training.

Now that you know how many sets to build muscle, you are encouraged to establish a suitable workout routine.

This is a vey good program that has been used with success by some leading physical trainers, and now it is available free.
