Dear Damian, what’s the meaning of "sets" in Mod.7

[Anonymous]

When you say “5 sets”, do you mean 5 times circuit exercise daily or weekly? Please answer.

Hi, Mr. Varbid,

I’ll explain with the simple example of pull-ups:

Suppose your routine is to do 10 pull-ups, rest, do 10 more pull-ups, rest, and do another 10 pull-ups. You are doing 10 pull-ups 3 times.

Or, you are doing 3 “sets” of 10 “reps” (repetitions). “Sets” refers to how many times you repeat the exercise. “Reps,” or repetitions, refers to how many times you repeat the given movement within the set.

Never perform less than 17 sets of any given exercise. Kidding.

Thanks.

Prevail and Damian, let me explain what i meant.

In the training manual it’s written “if you can do 5 sets and max 20 reps etc. than move on to the next circuit” yes?

My question is, these 5 sets should be done the same day, or can I do 2 sets one day and 3 sets another day for example?

Thank you

5 sets or 5 times through the circuit consecutively with about 3 to 5 minutes rest in between.
