  1. Lot of sets here, can you give a breakdown of why the reps and set range. I normally only do a maximum of 4 sets per exercise, even when going heavy.

  2. Well there is a strength training rule that dictates that if you are performing less reps, you need to do more sets of the same exercise in order to get the optimal training affect. Notice that not all of the sets are with maximal weight though.
