How many workouts should I do to build muscle?
In general, a range of 1 to 3 sets of an exercise can provide benefits based on your goals, and even just one exercise per muscle group can give you results. To gain strength, it’s best to stick with a few foundational exercises and concentrate your reps and sets there.
How many sets and reps should you do in a workout?
