You have to trust me when I say that, you can produce huge muscle gains by performing only one to two sets per exercise.  Any more than this, will almost always result in overtraining.  If you overtrain you will  practically prevent your potential muscle gains.

Often, at least initially, many guys I meet believe that such a small amount of exercise can’t possibly produce maximum muscle gains.  “That workout is too easy.”  Well, when they hit the weights with a high degree of intensity, they quickly discover the exact opposite.

Have you ever noticed that when you look at an anatomical chart of the human body,  you get a distorted impression of all major muscle groups.  This is why most guys think that they should train individual body parts for maximum gains. I can think of no other reason.

The vast majority of muscular structures within the human body are interrelated.  They do not function independently of one another. I have made this crystal clear already. Listen.  Tracings of nerve patterns frequently begin in one muscle, passing through others before finishing in an entirely different one.  It is common knowledge amongst doctors, that nerves not only serve the muscle of origin, they also serve related muscles.

An awareness of the human muscular structures can help us greatly when designing own own bodybuilding routines.  The total movements of which the body is capable of is almost infinite.   If you were to design a routine which involved an exercise for every possible movement, then you would never leave the gym.  You don’t have time for that. Plus such a routine would quickly result in overtraining.

However, if you just concentrated on the major movements, the number of exercises needed are massively reduced.  The vast majority of muscles are used to some degree when performing major movements.  Therefore, only a limited number of exercises are required to gain muscle fast throughout the entire body.
