A strength training SET refers to any number of continuous repetitions that are performed for any given exercise.

To facilitate the achievement of muscle development, the body ideally requires the performance of at least 3 strength training sets which I aptly name and list in their appropriate order below.

Set 1: The Wake-Up Set – This is the set that gets the blood flowing and wakes up the targeted muscle.

Set 2: The Shake-Up Set – This is the set that lets the targeted muscle know that it’s more than just a wake-up call and that it’s time to put in some continued effort.

Set 3 and Beyond: The Break-Up Set(s) – This is the set or sets that actually begin to cause varying degrees of muscle tissue break up or tearing in direct relation to the targeted muscle.

So if your goal is to facilitate the achievement of muscle development, I strongly suggest that you put in the SET VOLUME and of course with an appropriately challenging amount of weight!
