Hugo, I really admire your vids. But I have a question. If I do three sets of bicep curls for 7-10 repitions, am I leaning towars strength gains or hypertrophy? Thanks in advance.
Six sets may be overtraining for half of the population and 12 sets is definately overtraining for all but the top 5% of athletes, I would suppose. I little variety with barbell, DB, cable and arm bench exercises helps to stimulate growth. Some people, once they get into it, also recommend "21s," which are more like three continous sets of 10.
Zippy I'm sure you mean well, but there are a few odd comments in your post here. First off: 21's are called 21's because you do...wait for it...21 of them (7 top ROM, 7 bottom ROM, 7 full ROM)--not 10. Also, when he says 6-12 sets he means total (which is about right, about 2-4 sets of 2-3 different activities +/- a few) Do your homework Zip
I already knew this, but who cares. Good informational video.

Thanks, Hugo. That was enlightening. I'm gonna pick a slightly lighter weight when I do biceps next time.
