It pains me to see and hear most of the sh*t floating around these days. 

In fact, I say that 99.9% of the people on the planet are wasting almost every set they do. 

Wasting damn near every workout. Every dollar of their gym membership. Every second of their time.

What is up, my friends? This is the Renegade Strength Show. I'm Jay Furugia. We're 27 years. I'm dedicated to my mission of building stronger, fitter, healthier, happier, more dominant humans.

0:24.0

We continue the mission today on the show. First up, I wanted to mention our sponsor by optimizers. Stress is a common factor that affects everyone.

0:34.0

In today's fast-paced world, leading to various health issues, including heart problems, inflammation, obesity, and mental illness.

0:41.0

While most people focus on relief through meditation or trips to the spa, what if the root cause of stress is actually deficiency in a key nutrient?

0:49.0

Introducing magnesium breakthrough, the ultimate magnesium supplement that offers the full spectrum of all seven types of magnesium. Specifically, formulated to reach every tissue in your body for maximum health benefits.

1:01.0

This is one of a kind of product designed to reverse low levels of magnesium, which could be causing a multitude of health problems.

1:07.0

But what sets magnesium breakthrough apart is its ability to impact the release of stress hormones like cortisol and block the activity of more stimulating neurotransmitters, leading to a more peaceful resting state.

1:17.0

That means that this supplement acts like a breaker in your body's nervous system, helping to calm and soothe, promoting a better quality of life.

1:24.0

All you got to do, my friends, is go to magbreakthrough.com, slash J-A-Y, coupon code is J-A-Y-10. I love this stuff. I use it all the time.

1:32.0

If you track your sleep on an ore ring, or a whoop, or whatever, you will notice. It's not one of those supplements you were like, well, shit, I don't know if it's doing anything I can't tell.

1:40.0

You know, I take it, take it by a meteor, something like that. With magnesium, you will notice. You'll notice your sleep improved.

1:46.0

And there you have it on your score right there in the morning. So you'll know.

1:51.0

It's something that I give to all my clients. I highly recommend it. One of the first three things we put people on.

1:56.0

Super important nutrient. Most people are deficient. Does make a huge difference. Magbreakthrough.com slash J-A-Y.

2:04.0

Now we got to get to some questions here, guys. First question is using multiple sets with the same weight versus working up to one top set.

2:11.0

I like one top set way more than multiple sets with the same weight. So if you're a beginner, I would recommend multiple sets with the same weight.

2:21.0

I would warm you up. Let's say we're going to get to 100 pounds. That's all you can do. 100 pounds for six. So I probably do like 35, 50, 65, 85, maybe, and then go to 100.

2:33.0

Something like that. And then with that 100 again, because you're a beginner, you're trying to learn the movement. You need more practice.

2:39.0

I would tend to do three or four work sets, maybe even five work sets.

2:44.0

Once we get past the beginner stage, I don't like that. Even if I were to prescribe three sets of an exercise, I would still want, let's say, you know, a set of six, a set of eight, and a set of 10, something like that.

2:58.0

If you're older, more beat up, and you prefer to start on the higher end, great. You set a 10 and a little bit of weight after three minutes.

3:05.0

Do a set of eight, rest three minutes, and a little bit of weight, and go up, go ahead here. Both great options.
