Advice

Research suggests at least 10 sets per muscle per week is ideal for muscular hypertrophy. This would be a great place to start if you are just getting into lifting, but it may need to be adjusted depending on how well you are recovering from your workouts. It is important to keep fatigue levels well managed, as too much fatigue in a tissue can lead to injury, but too little fatigue in a tissue won’t be enough to stimulate muscular hypertrophy. If you are unsure how to keep fatigue well managed, it would be beneficial for you to hire a personal trainer or coach who can lay out an individualized and optimal plan for you.
