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

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.
I see. That explains a lot. If you had seen the context I don't think
we would be arguing.
My only issue was the "never" part of your response because it is
misinformation.
It's not quite the whole truth, but close enough (for me at least)
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.")
We come back to context. You think that the people reading this
newsgroup are all experienced lifters. I think the vast majority are
either not interesting in this thread at all or are relative
beginners.
and the ridiculous assumptions you made about my trainer. (ie
."Is he going to tell you he has thirty years of injuring his trainees?")
That wasn't a personal attack it was irony. Thats the problem with
international lists. I'll be more careful in future.
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.
Again two opposing opinions/assumptions.
You have no proof of what you say and neither do I. Can we leave it at
that.
