When it comes down to defining the ideal number of sets to include in a workout, there are three set structures commonly employed by bodybuilders. The first is “low volume”, and requires the trainer to achieve maximum intensity in a very small number of sets. The second is “medium volume” and allows the trainer more sets per workout, but results in diminished intensity, as the trainer usually isn’t capable of maintaining the same level of intensity for as long. The third set structure, “high volume”, involves limited intensity, many sets, and a great deal of time spent in the gym. All three set structures have their place in bodybuilding training.
