Bro, just focus on progressive overload. It doesn’t matter if it’s 3 or 6 sets just lift heavier over time.

3–5 sets, 3–6 reps, 2–3 min rest. It’s not sexy, but it works. Strength is all about patience and consistency.

I’ve tried high volume, but for pure strength. Low reps, more rest, fewer sets work best for me.

I mix 3 sets for accessories, 5 for heavy lifts. Joints keep happy and gain solid.

If you're chasing PRs, 4 sets of 5 with progression every week works wonders. Keep it simple, bro.

I do 5 sets of 3–5 reps for squats and dead lifts. Strength has been going up steadily. Rest time is key too.

For strength? I stick to 3–5 sets per compound lift. Low reps, heavy weight. Quality > quantity.

When it comes to building strength, more isn’t always better. Most lifters seem to get great results with 3–5 sets of 3–6 reps on big lifts.
It’s about lifting heavy, using good form, and resting enough between sets.
What’s your go-to set/rep scheme for strength? Let’s compare notes.
