That's not really a workout, it's a list of 4 exercises (and it's only 13 sets). :ufdup:

Interesting, for chest I shoot for 5-6 exercises, 5-6 sets and 6-10 reps. What’s the minimum number of sets before it’s considered a proper workout? By my count I aim for at least 25 sets of chest related exercises…

Proper? :patrice: Hard to say.

Assuming you have a "chest workout" that doesn't get repeated more than once per training week (i.e. as part of an upper/push, etc. type of workout), then 13 sets per week is definitely on the low side to me.

Anything over 30 per muscle group per session is prolly OD (reaching diminishing returns in terms of fatigue/stimulation, or encroaching into "junk volume).

Day 8
[@Gully Bull]

Front Squat (ATG) is getting stronger. Prolly another 2-3 weeks away from a PR.

Overhead Press is definitely taking a back seat to bench but we're only 20 pounds off on that.


Really gonna have to start doing cardio in a separate session; just don't have enough chakra right now to be lifting for three hours and running more than a mile or so. :mjcry:
