Hi!
I'm a beginner and I'm doing a workout plan I made myself based on what I collected from the internet. Lately I read an article that said according to research you should do ~60 reps per week for a small muscle group and ~120 reps for a large group. This sounds like a very small number to me. For example, in case of biceps, if I do two workouts per week, I'd only need to do 3*10 in a single exercise on both occasions for optimal growth.
Currently I do 4sets*10reps and do 3 different exercises for small muscle group and 4 different exercises for large muscle group.
For example, my biceps workout is:
Curl (Dumbbell) - 4*10
Curl (Barbell) - 4*10
Concentration Curl - 4*10
I do a muscle group twice a week, so that comes out to 240 reps per week compared to the 60 that the article says is optimal for growth. Am I really overdoing it this much, or is the 60rep/week thing BS?
Thanks!
