Every fricking time. Just lift more, bros. I'm trying to help you.
My workouts are 12-15 sets max and take about 1h20. People who do much more volume than that are simply not lifting heavy enough, probably take short rests and lose 2-3 reps with each subsequent set of an exercise. An example workout of mine looks like:
>weighted pullups 4x8 >barbell/dumbbell rows 3×8-10 >lat pulldowns 3x8-10 >curls 3x10 with a drop set to failure on the final set
After all that I'm pretty fried. I try to rest enough so that I don't lose any reps on my next set, usually about 5 mins. Could you rest less? Sure but you'll lose reps, and that's not conducive to hypertrophy/strength gains IMO
>that's not conducive to hypertrophy/strength gains IMO
those extra reps don't stimulate anything, you're just taking longer to build up to a proximity to failure that will stimulate muscle growth. And having to rest for 5 minutes between sets is overkill, you have shit work capacity.
Each one of my workouts is in the 15-20 sets range and I have never gone above an hour. 2-3 minute breaks after a compound lift, 1-2 after most lifts, 1 minute after isolation exercises. Each workout includes probably 7-8 warmup sets but I don't usually rest as long between them.
What am I missing?
Or maybe he takes 6 minute breaks between sets? I do 30-90 sec rests depending on the exercise and take every set to failure. Why lift for more than 1h? Sounds like a big waste of time.
I am the same. Any more than 12-15 working sets on compounds in the same session bleeds performance. With isolation you can cut rest times and superset antagonistically, but that is about it.

HOW do those 12 sets take so long? I do 24 set workouts and I'm done in 1h
he explained it, you aren't actually lifting

>sad chest syndrome
It's over
It's not about sets, gay. It's all about reps. I do a full body routine with only 8 sets, but 20-25 reps each.
Per muscle group it is overkill unless you are a roitroony
every single natural bodybuilder has built his physique on brosplits smashing a muscle group with tons of sets once a week
