I recently started to spend some time in the weight room at the gym as opposed to sipmly passing through on my way to the pool. I've noticed that some people do 3 or so sets on a particular machine and then move on to the next. I've also noticed that some people do one set and move from machine to machine then repeat the cycle 3 times. Which is the right way to do it?
I'm not sure if there is a right way for one objective and another right way for a different objective so I in particular am trying to bulk up. I'm doing 8 - 10 reps and 3 sets on each machine in a row with weight that has me close to stuggling by the 10th rep on the 3rd set then I go to the next machine. I try to do an upper body, then core, then legs, then repeat. I try to avoid doing multiple upper body / core / lower body excersizes in a row.
Also, what is an appropriate rest time between excersizes? Sometimes I wear my HRM and rest until my HR goes from 130ish after the set to 100 to start the next set. Am I just being a dork here?
