Set

A set is a group of repetitions. How many sets of an exercise you perform is dependent on many factors, with most trainees completing anywhere between 1 and 4 sets. Some exercise programs suggest you should perform up to 10 sets, but lots of research has proved this amount is not actually necessary to simulate muscle growth (hypertrophy).
Generally speaking, most exercise programmes suggest three sets of an exercise to be performed.
