Goals?



Hypertrophy.

My weak points are arms, and shoulders.

Back by far my strongest

Change everything you have to 5 sets each exercise and between 10-15 reps. 20 for calves/shrugs.

how is that low volume? 2x frequency + 9-12 working sets each workout is a good bit of volume


Eh? Consider per body part

Chest would have 6x sets 2x/week = 12 sets total
Back total is 18
that's a disparity in itself that seems off + by no means is that high volume. 12 sets per week is quite low. I'd say 14-18 is a decent start for those that aren't used to much volume at all, though as I said, it's fine to start with that then work on upping it as time goes on.
For instance, I currently do 30 sets per body part per week and it really doesn't feel like much at all. High reps, lowish rest, etc

Once again, zero value contributed.


No help wasted on my part either. Good choice by me imo.

Yeah, he could use an additional chest movement, or to add another 2-3 sets, but for the most part that is more than enough to grow adequately. I think it was lyle mcdonald who has an article about the peak amount of 'reps' per muscle group, and it pretty much states like 30-60 reps is ideal, anything over usually doesn't yield more growth, or is negligible.. i can't remember the wording exactly, but his thinking is set on 30-60.

long read if interested, but i thought it was worth it
