yeah, that would be a lot. But say 4 sets for 4-5 exercises isnt bad at all.

Exactly. If it's seven sets total per workout, some people might say he's not doing enough- If it's seven sets per exercise, and he's doing like four exercises, then he could definitely cut things down a bit.

3-4 sets per exercise ! but people do 3 or 4 exercises per muscle normally

that's 9-12 sets...

Hmmmm thats odd I thought the most sets you should if you want to gain size would have to be 3-4 and only 8-12 reps. Can some one explain?

7 sets 8-10 reps on every muscle sounds ok to me, unless hes doing that on every muscle group in ONE day EVERY day, then id be very worried.

If he seperates the muscle groups into different days then that sounds fine to me....

My brother is 19yrs old has been lifting for about a year now, his goal is to gain mucle and aventualy "get ripped." So the probelm is he does 7 sets consisting of 8-10 reps on every muscle group. I tell him hes over doing it, whats your take on this?
