thank you for your kind words

This is perfect advice! I'm in day 3 of an 8 week challenge calories at 1700 following your upper and lower body exercises coming from Hiit 4-5 times week at 10 exercises 5 rounds for the past 6 months 🤦. I feel the burn in only a few weight exercises at 4 or 5 rounds and targetting same muscle groups, makes alot of sense quality vs quantity 💪. Love your content and emails they definitely help and make sense to my upcoming achievements! Thanks Eric, keep em coming!

[@ericrobertsfitness]

makes me so happy Ina!!! :)

[@JamieLeeMac]

This is the advice that I needed. Definitely going into the gym with the quality over quantity mentality now! Thanks, E!

The problem I have with the 10 to 20 sets per muscle group per week is that you don't need that many sets if your using progressive overload and doing 8 to 12 reps per set or so per muscle group. I think doing so many sets would mean that your reps range would be too low like 1 to 5 to accomplish so many sets. That's too many rest breaks needed between all those sets and sounds very time consuming! It doesn't seem realistic or useful to maximize muscle growth unless I'm missing something?

I think i learned something thanks I have been only doing it 3 months so there was a lot I did appreciate

You probably won't see this but what work outs can I do for my upper body?

[@SandraHernandez-nh3fy]

@eric .. im confused i thought it was supposed to be 12 reps per muscle only.. but now with the sets im confused.. i used to do 50reps 5 sets of 10 .. i was told i was doing too much now im confused please help 😭😭

[@stephaniet9461]

I'm not sure if you explain this before but could you give a sample of what I should be doing in the gym? I'm on my way now and I know I'll do 30 minutes of cardio then diddle-daddle with some arm weights and then leave

[@dianaramos8742]

How long do you do a progressive overload? For example, I started doing your mayhem workouts twice a week, so that the second time that week is a progressive overload. Then the following week, I do a different workout you’ve made. Should it be done in a longer run to see results?

[@becca9060]

So is there a certain amount of reps to try to do per set or do you literally just go until you almost fail?

[@colinseguin9651]

Pick a rep range like 8-12 and pick a weight where you’ll fail or get super close to failing in that range.

[@becca9060]

@@colinseguin9651 thank you!

[@schumann967]

I love the videos and all the info but i am confused when u say 8 sets is that of the same exercise like ill use squates as an example im suposed to do 8 working sets of squats twice a wk and i didnt really hear to much about how many reps im trying to lose weight build muscle and strength i know 3 and below will definitely build just strenth ive done 5x5 forever but never got my light heavey enough i was doing 3 sets of to or 12 in highschool then there is 15 reps just wonder whats best for streanth and fat loss

[@cyh7186]

But your content is informative.

[@iselazavala2233]

How would you progressive overload at home though, when you can't always increase weight? Also, another question this program recommends eating at maintenance which I get, but I don't think my overall activity can support that..

[@ericrobertsfitness]

you can add weight or time under tension, but eventually there will be a limit to what you can do! everybody's maintenance is different, your maintenance calories are with activity levels included.

[@sharpeshootr212]

Good info bro!! Usually I do 3 sets of incline, 3 sets of decline and 3 sets of flat for chest in a single workout. You consider this as 9 sets?

[@ericrobertsfitness]

if they are all sets taken within 1-3 reps shy of failure, yep!

[@danielleschwartz5757]

this isn’t realated to the video but can i stop working out when i’m done losing the weight i wanted to lose without gaining it back?

[@ericrobertsfitness]

the same way you lose weight is the same way you maintain weight loss. It is also not all about losing weight. Working out is essential for your health. Try to get out of the weight loss only mindset.

[@danielleschwartz5757]

@@ericrobertsfitness i mean i’ll still do normal exercise but less exercise to change body shape

I can tell you disliked school your printing and board presentation needs work.
