? regarding number of sets/reps...

[getnfit@38]

Hi Cathe,

After literally HOURS of searching for an old post,I finally found the series of specific exercises you gave for developing the "v" shape cut in the arms. My only other questions would be:

1. How many sets/reps do you suggest for each exercise?

2. How much weight? (light, moderate or heavy?)

The specific exercises you listed were:
a combo of shoulder work (long lever side lat raises, front delt raises, rear delt raises), bicep work (heavy weight bicep curls), and tricep work (kickbacks, lying overhead extentions)

The only area you specifically mention "heavy" weight work was with the bicep curls, did you mean to go heavy for all? Or what do you suggest for the shoulder and tricep work?

Thanks for all you do

Donna

Hi Donna! I'm so glad that you were finally able to find that post. A long search like that can be frustrating. I just came across this question now and realized it was bumped several times. I will not forget about you but I have to leave to teach class right now. I will get to your question first chance I get. !

Hi Donna! There is no exact formula to the sets and reps but I would say try 3 sets of 10 to 12 reps per exercise and see how that works for you. As far as how heavy to go, this will vary too. Many exercises for shoulders and triceps can not handle very heavy weight. But in any case, you should use a weight that challenges your muscles to their to maximum potential for each exercise.

BTW, the reason I specified heavy weight for bicep curls is because when the bicep muscle grows in size, it compliments the "v" cut look.

Good Luck!
