#115 - How many sets of an exercise should I be doing? with Craig McDonald

Uncategorized May 13, 2022

My Nustrength co-founder and other half, Craig, joins me on the podcast today! I get heaps of messages on Instagram asking how many sets should be performed per exercise, so I thought this would make for a great and short podcast.

In this episode, Craig and I discuss:

➡️What the better question is to ask yourself which will dictate how many sets of an exercise you should be doing

➡️Why recovery and context is important

➡️A guide to how many sets per week per muscle group most women need to build muscle - this will differ depending on your training age

➡️Examples of how to determine how many sets you should be doing and how to progress your weights

And more!

Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield. Each month I choose someone who has shared and they get a tub of Saturée Premium Collagen valued at $79.
