Set Difference?

[Rogerman]

I have a question.

What's the difference between these two types of gymnastics, the precise exercise is not important here.


Type 1 :

Overall repeats: 100

Sets: 10
Repeats in each set: 10

Type 2 :

Overall repeats: 100

Sets: 20
Repeats in each set:5



What's the difference?
Is there any different working on muscles between the two types, thus producing different results?

I can only imagine between volume and shape, but don't know in which type they are focused.

its the weight different.

the 20 rep sets are probably much lighter then the 10 rep sets.

Look at it this way...

Example 1: SQUATS: 3 sets of 10, weight used is 150 lbs. Total weight lifted = 4500 lbs.

Example 2: SQUATS: 10 sets of 3, weight used is 240 lbs. Total weight lifted = 7200 lbs.

Example 2 will work you a LOT harder than example 1 will.

I cannot understand why did you mention the weight ? The weight on both exercises are the SAME. The exercise is the SAME. The only difference is how you many sets on repeats you do. The overall repeats are the SAME.

You see... let's just say we use this for lifting.

Let's say we must raise the bar 10 times , for 10 times.
And on another example raise the bar 5 times for 20 times.

The question is what is the difference on the workout of this exercises?

More Sets---Less reps---More weight=Bigger/faster strength gains



You kinda confused me so I dont know if this is the answer you're looking for




When you're doing more sets and less reps, the weight used shouldnt be the same as when you're doing less sets and more reps
