I like training sets of 7.
Counted as
1,2,3,4,5,1,2
Easy
Certain numbers of reps per set are the “usual suspects”, and when you do reps that aren’t these numbers you tend to have no mental blocks on performance.
5×7
7×7
Both are good parameters.
The brain doesn’t kick in with limitations.
A set of 10 I’ll often stop focussing on the muscle.
5 is low reps.
7 is mentally a breaze, while still tuned in.
As I continue to train I find myself more and more finding mind-muscle connection to be important.
7s are a good number of reps per set for this.
(edit : 5/2/24 – man, this holds for me – I genuinely like sets of 7 on the 40kg two hand swing)
