If I say 10-20 working sets per muscle group per week, does that include exercises like row, pull up, and lat pull down combined?
Does getting 12-20 sets for each body part each week refer to individual muscles like biceps, quads, lats, etc., or more broadly to larger muscle groups like legs, back, arms, etc.?
When talking about the total amount of sets per week in the episode Mind Pump Episode #1158 | Phasing Your Workouts, Stress Limiting Progress, Trainer Tips, & MORE and the clip Set Definitions Explained, does the guideline of 9-18 sets per muscle group in the episode Dr. Andy Galpin: How to Build Strength, Muscle Size & Endurance | Huberman Lab Podcast #65 and the clip Muscle Growth Mechanics mean 9-18 sets for quads, 9-18 sets for glutes, and 9-18 sets for hamstrings, or does it mean 9-18 sets for legs as a whole?
