Enkidu Posts: 63 Joined: 2002/06/28	2002/07/09, 05:36 AM Will do these 3 then, would the following be good for a workout??? First set I do, reversbarebellcurl 10x, 8x, 6x staticgrip 10x, 8x, 6x Thors Hammer 10x, 8x, 6x And then I would do this all over again:) Do I need to take 3 sets instead of 2??? So would I need to do this, 1st set ======= reversbarebellcurl 10x, 8x, 6x staticgrip 10x, 8x, 6x Thors Hammer 10x, 8x, 6x 2nd === reversbarebellcurl 10x, 8x, 6x staticgrip 10x, 8x, 6x Thors Hammer 3rd === reversbarebellcurl 10x, 8x, 6x staticgrip 10x, 8x, 6x Thors Hammer 10x, 8x, 6x Or just 2 of these??? Thnx
rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/07/09, 10:33 AM One of these is all you need, once per week. When you indicate "10x, 8x, 6x" I assume you mean the number of repetitions. Each one actually represents a set. So, one set of 10 reps., one set of 8 reps. and one set of 6 reps...right? If you want to add more intensity, add 1 or 2 additional sets. Keep the exercises rotating and vary them every 2 weeks or so. Throw in some seated barbell/dumbbell curls, inclined, etc. Variety should keep you from getting bored. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
