The number of reps you may perform depends on your fitness level and the difficulty of an exercise. This difficulty depends on the weight, or load, you use for an exercise. If the load is higher, naturally, you cannot do too many reps. However, if the load is lower, the work is easier, and as a result, you’ll be able to repeat that exercise more times than if the weight was at a higher load.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>To accomplish your goal of achieving the best physical look possible, the best curvature of your lower body, calf, thighs and buttocks (for women) the load needs to be slightly higher.

Why? Simply because the intend of the program is to develop the lower limbs (calf, thighs, buttocks) and abdominal muscles. The suggested number of sets for the upper body, especially for men will be adequate to maintain a good harmony between all body parts.<o:p></o:p></span></p> </body> </html>
