Default How Many Exercises and Sets Do I Perform for my Strength Training?

I don't simply ignore things that misinform.


Me neither. Can you explain why I misinformed please and drop the
personal attacks.

If you are so dead against misinformation why didn't you reply to the
OP. Or do you suggest that we all train one set to failure?

I already stated what I think - that you only lift to failure on the third
set and then only if you do it without breaking form and have a spotter if
needed.

I have the OP plonked and didn't even read his lecture. If he were to
actually participate in group discussions I'd spend time discussing his POV.

My only issue was the "never" part of your response because it is
misinformation. If you want to discuss personal attacks then maybe look at
your use of the word stupid ("The vast majority of people who are likely to
read this would be stupid to try lifting to failure for the reason i
stated.") and the ridiculous assumptions you made about my trainer. (ie
.."Is he going to tell you he has thirty years of injuring his trainees?")

And finally the blanket assumption "and yes everyone here is a beginner.
They would not be on a weigh****chers newsgroup if they had much exposure to
the weightlifting community." I know of plenty of people who are lifting
and have been and yet turn to a support group for weight loss, myself
included. There's also plenty of people on ASD who are in maintenance and
still participate in the group for continued support. Your assumptions are
off base and I have no problem pointing it out.
