For example, performing multiple -

At one
exercise per muscle group you reduce the chances of overtraining.Yes, it is still possible to overtrain on this kind of workout but when compared to a regular split routine, where you do multiple
exercises for a
single muscle group in one training session, super
sets, drop
sets, rest pause
sets etc. the chances of overtraining are smaller.
According to research published by the Gatorade Sports Science Institute, a multiple -
set bout of resistance training
exercise caused a 25 to 45
per cent drop in muscle glycogen, and a
single 30 - second sprint resulted in a 27
per cent drop.
And I do like the idea of combining it into a
single workout to overload different aspects of training rather than just randomly throwing
sets and
exercises at a muscle, which is the way most one - part -

Lets say I do 5 - 7
exercises per workout, do I have to do a high rep
set for every
