would it be stupid to only do two types of exercises for a muscle group? like for triceps i can do CGBP, skull crushers, dips, and overhead extensions with dumbbells but i only do CGBP and skull crushers because they're easier and i enjoy them more. back i'd only be doing pull ups for a warmup then barbell rows and dumbbell rows.
i basically only do 2 exercises for everything expect chest and shoulders where i'll do 3-4.
i havent got a whole lot to do since i workout in my bedroom. just got dumbbells and a barbell.
also, how much sets should i be doing for each muscle group?
i normally rest for 1 minute and sets take 1 minute so i could fit in 30 sets in an hour but i normally only do 12 sets. not sure if i should be trying to do more, since i could push my self harder. not sure if its necessary to though. dont want to overtrain and dont want to undertrain
2 exercises per muscle group is a bit off. I would try to do at least 3....so you can hit that muscle group from every angle possible.
Secondly between sets it all depends. I would recommend 30-45 seconds rest between sets and around 1 minute rest between exercises. Try for a total of 20 sets PER muscle group.
