Three to four sets per exercise, performed as 'work sets' after a thorough warm-up, are generally sufficient for strength development.

“If you did as little as like three sets per exercise, that's probably enough.”

“Um if you did as little as like three sets per exercise, that's probably enough. >> Work sets. >> Totally. Yeah, totally. Work sets, right? So, get fully warmed up and build up to that 85%. Don't just walk into the gym and throw 85% on and go, "Thank you." That's a that's an important distinction. A very classic warm-up thing would be like a set of 10 at 50%, a set of eight at 60%, a set of maybe eight again at 70%, and then maybe like a set of five at 75%. So two or three or four sets kind of building intensity and lowering the rep range. And then you would go after your two or three working sets.”
