question about workout

[amkitch43]

what is the average number of exercises that should be done to get the most out a particular area? does the number differ depending on he muscle group?

[Boss Man]

If you are traing on a 5 day split, then you could do this sort of thing.

Chest 8-12 sets.

Back 8-12 sets.

12 sets being for natural lifters with good size. Not really for new or newish lifters

Quads 8-12 sets

Hamstrings 8-12 sets

Again 12 sets would be for bigger naturals.

Biceps 6-10.

Triceps 6-10

Shoulders 6-10.

Again 10 sets would be for more sizeable guys.

If you are doing a full body routine your only going to want 3-5 sets per exercise with mostly compound exercises.
