Some training feedback will be appreciated
ad
I train every muscle group once a week, 5 exercise per session and 3 or 4 sets an exercise pyramiding up.
Reading through this I’m thinking about dropping the amount of sets an exercise and just doing one working set per exercise (apart from first exercise to warm up). I’m also thinking about doing two muscle groups a session (working every muscle group twice a week) 3 working sets on one muscle group and 4 on another. 8 - 15 reps depending on exercise. This will take total reps around the 110 mark, was just wondering if 7 working sets a day seemed a little high?
Hope this wasn’t too complicated and appreciate any feedback cheers.

What are your goals? Size, strength, body building, strong man, etc..?
What works for one person may not be as effective for another person. Also different muscle groups respond to different techniques. I like training calves and abs multiple times per week or daily as this is a slow twitch muscle. Fast twitch muscle like legs, chest, back, arms don't need the same type of stimulation to drive results. I have found once or twice a week is plenty to maintain and/or grow.
With that said without proper nutrition and rest dialed in to meet your specific goals. Any results you do get will be mediocre.
Hi JL
I´m cutting. I posted the whole cycle a week ago and I posted the first update about it now. Here you have the link to it:

Thanks for the answer
TronDon't complicate things.. I am guilty of it..I sit down and write a 4 week program out..I write down reps and weight..then I compete with myself by trying to beat last week's lifts by rep and or weight..when 4 weeks is up I write a new routine down for another 4 weeks completely changing everything up..maybe the fist 4 weeks I lift heavy..lots of heavy compound movements..then 4 weeks of higher reps..isolation..supersets etc.
It's different for everyone, in order to find the optimal training style for you you will have to experiment for a while and find something you're comfortable with.
For me i find it works best to follow a push, pull and leg regimen doing all of those 2 times a week with one rest day, usually i will do one day heavy and one day more focused on the weak parts within that split.
I'm a fan of "It varies for everyone" We are all different and people get different results based on that. So what works amazingly well for you might not do so for the next person.
Therefore it's a matter of trial and error til you find out what does it for you!
I like heavy (80-85% of max) for 4 sets of 5-8 reps
5 or so exercises and only training one muscle per workout
This means I usually do not get every muscle in during a 7 day span, but does that really matter?
The real question is do you grow better doing heavy work or lighter weight more frequently. Nobody can tell you this but yourself...
I suggest trying both ways for 8 weeks each and seeing which is more effective. This will require taking measurements and keeping variables like food and sleep constant for any type of accuracy.
Great tips. Thank you.
I’m a fan of 2 working sets for each muscle group for two main movements...a top end set and a little bit of a back off set to get roughly the same reps and then 2-3 movements for pump work. 7 working sets seems a bit high to me unless it happens to be a day that you struggle to bring max intensity. You can do each muscle twice a week it will jus take a bit of planning with your split...imo there is no point to hitting a muscle group twice if it isn’t max effort as max recovery
