A new-ish client at our personal training gym in Timonium just asked me why she was doing "only" two sets while her friends did three or even four sets of certain exercises. So here are two simple reasons we start new clients with two rounds of each exercise: Minimum Effective Dose This is a concept most commonly associated with medicine but applies to fitness also. Your aim is to do the least amount of exercise you need to reach your fitness goal. More is not better. Your early gains in strength occur in your nervous system, NOT in your muscles.

Many muscles are literally interconnected such that the force generated in one is transfered to another. Your muscles work together in groups that are not intuitive (that is, you have to study - or perform cadevar dissections. I've done a lot of each.) 5 - Five Fundamental Movement Patterns - push, pull, rotation, working on one leg
