Muscles need time to recover. When you work the same muscles every day, they do not get any recovery time and you increase your risk of injuring yourself. It sounds to me like your intensity is too low. If you like to work out daily, I encourage you to look at the 6 days per week schedule.
You can push harder and even add a 4th set if you wanted to since there are fewer exercises and you have more time to recover. Visit my Osteoporosis Exercise Plan page for more information on this topic.

This range is best for general increase in muscle strength and size aka hypertrophy , according to the ACE. On the other hand, to build muscular endurance , you'll want to keep your reps high, between 20 to 30 repetitions, according to the ACE.
Higher rep ranges are excellent for runners or cyclists who need to perform exercises for long periods of time without muscle fatigue. Generally the amount of repetitions you perform should be inversely related to the weight you're lifting, the ACE recommends. If you're performing heavy squats, for instance, you may want to do just 6 reps. On the other hand, if you're doing light hammer curls, you can go for 12 reps total. Whether you're training for hypertrophy or muscular endurance, you want to perform your reps to a point of muscular fatigue, which is when you feel too tired to do one more repetition with good form.
For some people that's 10 reps, while for others it's The sets in a workout tell you how many times you will repeat a particular number of repetitions of a given exercise.
Let's say you're doing triceps kickbacks. Two sets of 15 reps means you'll perform 15 kickbacks two times total, resting between each round. In total, you'll be doing 30 kickbacks. As with the reps you do, you can also tailor your sets to your personal fitness goals.
So, the number of reps your friend does might not be the best number for you. As a general rule of thumb, lift lighter weights for a higher number of reps and heavier weights for a lower number of reps.
Each set should consist of the number of reps you can do using correct form before you start to compromise your form. Then, you can take a planned rest between sets to recover. So, if you can correctly do a biceps curl for eight reps before you start to lose your form, then plan to do eight reps per set.
There is some disagreement among experts about the exact length of rest periods. But one literature review of 35 clinical studies shows that, depending on your goals, resting anywhere between 20 seconds and 5 minutes between sets will increase the efficacy and safety of your workouts. So which strategy is right for you? Then, take adequate rest and try another one or two sets of the same reps.
If you want to increase your functional strength, use heavy weights with relatively low reps and sets. If you want to build definition and bulk, use heavy weights with a moderate level of reps and sets.
Reps, short for repetitions, are the action of one complete strength training exercise, like one biceps curl. Sets are how many reps you do in a row between periods of rest.
By using reps and sets to guide your strength workouts, you can pinpoint and achieve your fitness goals with more control. Good things come to those who squat. Not only do squats shape your quads, hamstrings, and glutes, they help your balance and mobility, and increase…. Exercising regularly has many benefits for your body and brain.
