Q

How should you decide the optimal # of sets to perform within a workout?

A

work backwards from the # of sets/workout to # sets/muscle

eg. if performing 20-25 sets/workout and working out 4 muscle groups/workout then that is approx 6 sets/muscle group

Q

Why is it important not to rest too long during hypertrophy work?
