im gonna have to disagree with twisted on this one. sure 3 sets could be better but it could be worse too. try doing 6 sets and then see if ur gains are better or worse. if they're better keep it up if not then go back down

Try doing six sets - three exercises for two sets each or two exercises for three sets each - and see how it works. six sets still isn't that many, so you wont have to worry about overtraining.
