How Many Sets?

June 16, 2015 1 min read

When you hit the gym, how many sets of each exercise do you do? Are you the kind of person that sticks with one exercise and performs A LOT of sets of that some movement, or do you do a couple of sets of five or six different movements? Do you know which will lead to the best results? According to a study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, more is better…

5 is Better Than 3 is Better Than 1

Nearly fifty men participated in this study, none of which had any prior resistance training experience. They were total gym n00bs, making them the perfect test subjects! They were divided into four groups:

1 Set
3 Sets
5 Sets
Control group

They worked out just three times per week, but continued the program for six months. At the end of the six months, here were the results:

The strength (both upper and lower body) of the 5 Set group improved noticeably over the 3 Set group, which in turn improved noticeably over the 1 Set group.
The endurance of the 5 Set group improved noticeably over the other two groups.

To put it plainly, the more the merrier! Not only did their strength improve, but the 5 Set group saw the greatest amount of growth in their elbow flexor muscles. This means that their forearms grew larger and stronger as a result of the exercise. If you want the best results, go for 5 sets of each exercise!

Shipping & Delivery

Due to COVID-19, shipping systems the world over are experiencing abnormal delays. While health and wellness companies are essential services, there is simply an enormous demand on postal and delivery services as individuals and hospitals need more supplies than ever before. This is an unprecedented situation, and we are working around the clock to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. To be clear, we are filling orders in 4-5 days, and we are shipping immediately after that. Once shipped, our shipping partner, UPS, will get your order out to you as quickly as possible. You will receive the tools you need to stay safe and strong at home through this difficult time. Thanks for your support and understanding.

We want you to start your fitness journey with us as quickly as possible, that’s why we send every package to the USA & Canada via expedited or standard shipping with our partners at UPS. Once your order is received and processed, it typically takes 2-4 days to get to you once it leaves our warehouse. That’s our commitment and we stand by it.

We ship within Canada and the United States via UPS with Standard & Expedited shipping (whichever is faster)

For locations outside of the US and Canada, we ship using FedEx International (EUROPE and Other Nations), which is usually in transit for 7-10 business days, depending on location.

We ship all of our physical products with UPS, from our warehouse location in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Delays caused due to custom withholds are not included in these estimated delivery times.
