can anyone offer advice,i have hit a stop in my training and wasnt gaining or increasing strength.i was doing about 3 hours 5 times a week.the 3 hours included 20 mins cardio.i decided today to pay for a personal trainer to work me a new programme .they are doing me a routine where you only perform 2 sets per excercise at very high weight.has anyone else used this method and does it work? when i questioned this method i was told its only neccesary to do two sets any more just burns calories! and they also mentioned super sets???? as i dont have the new programme yet i cant be more precise,but im used to pyramid sets 12,12,10,10,8,8.and doing as many different excercises i can manage in the 3 hours.im hopeing that being as there a trained personal trainer that what they say is true but you read so many different things.hopeing to hear from experiance.
