People often think doing more sets will give them more muscles. Is this true, or just a misconception? 43-year-old IFBB Pro Marc Lobliner is a well-known figure in the bodybuilding realm, and he often shares his valuable insights on his social media handles. This time, he has touched upon this most common topic raised by gymgoers.

The IFBB Pro recently uploaded a video on his YouTube channel, Tiger Fitness, and shared a study done by one of his friends. The well-recognized coaching expert Menno Henselmans recently shared a study done on three in-season American football athletes. Lobliner chimed in with his two cents about the study.

Lobliner shares two problems with the approach

The 43-year-old IFBB Pro went through the study and gave a simple final verdict. He said, “I just read; yes, it does.” This might catch you off-guard, but doing more sets gives you more muscles, according to Lobliner. However, the study was only done on quads, not on the full body, and it has two major issues, according to Lobliner.

“Your set is a set. A set where you can’t move anymore and then we have the other data we have to tie into this, that after that maximal set, you’re only getting like 50% if that of recruitment if you did another set at that level,” explained Lobliner. The second caveat is that doing 52 sets will require a lot of time, taking up two to four hours.

The 43-year-old IFBB Pro gave his example and demonstrated that you need to focus on your weaker area. He trains his arms almost every chance he gets. Lobliner trains arms after back days. This indicates that you need to prioritize the weaker parts of your body. Lobliner also shared the right way to follow his approach.

The right way to make a workout split

The 43-year-old coach shed light on the fact that you need to at least double the volume of your weaker muscle. He advised maintaining a proper workout split for these situations. The coach warned everyone and mentioned, “Don’t do this with every body part; you will never recover.” He suggests following a normal approach with other body parts.

Lobliner highlighted that he has weak arms, and he needs to train them at least twice. He adds ten sets of biceps after having a back day. Then, after shoulder day, he does ten sets of triceps. This is the kind of workout split that the bodybuilder suggests one makes.

The 43-year-old IFBB Pro believes following such an approach will ensure that you manage your gains properly. Will you follow a workout split? Let us know in the comments.
