my body reacts better to high intensity, short intervals than lower intensity long intervals. So i'm only doing 4 sets per exercise, 1 exercise per bodypart using a pyramid method. I will do as many reps as i can with a certain weight (5 or so), then lower the weight and do a few more (3 or so). Doing that for 4 sets seems to work but i'm not sure if 4 sets is enough. How many sets per bodypart are you doing.

high volume for bench. moderate for deads

i like to do about 20 sets of board presses on my 2 bench days in a week. pretty high volume

on my other assistance exercises it's only 2-3 sets

 

[pwr_machine]

6-9

It varies. . . sometimes one. . other times 6. It depends on the training cycle.

 

[hardrock]

3-6 working sets.

 

[leatherface]

It does vary, but right now im doing about 6 sets per body part.

 

[c3bodybuilding]

For most body parts, 5 work sets while on. Here is an example of a chest routine:

Low incline press 2 work sets
weighted dips 3 work sets.

When I am off, I do no more than 2-3 sets per bodypart.

I don't think I ever go over 9 work sets. rep ranges are from triples to 5x5 to 21, depending on Light/Heavy day.
