107 sets a week???? all to failure????

i do about 70 sets a week with none of them to failure

you do 24 exercises with only 7 that are really doing you any good

shoulder raises, curls, extensions, crunches, forearms and calf raises are best used when you actually have a foundation and some previously built appreaciable muscle

i suggest researching the waterbury method and do that exactly as written

failure isnt all tht wrong is it? i feel so much better when i do tht, i research about it and there are alot of different opinions people sayin u get the most muscle gains when doin to failure and people saying wt u guys are saying example 3 sets of 8 - 12 to build mass are better, so it has got me thinking is there a proper way or is everyone different in the way they lift and grow?

more opinions guys please

Everyone IS different. Find something that works for you and go for it.
i don't really like this...to find what works for you, you need to try everything and noone does

1 - donpt got to failure until the last rep of the last set of each exercise

2 - compound exercises only

3 - full body routine

4 - go
