Q. Planet Muscle is informative, easy to read and better than all the others magazines, in my opinion. In your June - July 2008 issue, starting on page 82, an author and article is discussing back training, and it seems like just 1 set of each exercise? I've never heard of only doing 1 set per exercise. Your input would be appreciated.A. You should read the other guy’s letter! Beyond warm-up sets, some advocate just one brutally hard set to failure of each exercise. If you read this article again, only the last exercise (hyperextensions) are really 'one set'. The rest are ‘extended sets’ where when one hits fatigue at the specified # of reps, lowers the weight and keeps on going. Think of the sets as one giant set, or 2 sets where your weights are lowered at the end of the procured reps, and then you blast out more reps almost immediately. Author Preston Rendell generally has a similar work format in most of his unique body part workouts. His methods produce results!
