    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.drmirkin.com/forum/forum.html/member_profile.asp?PF=1422">friscobob</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> One Set To Failure<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 15 Mar 2010 at 12:07pm<br /><br />When doing bodyweight exercises such as pushups, situps, etc., is it better to do just one set until you can't do any more, or to do many submaximal sets? I like doing just one set to failure, but I read some reports saying that this is bad for the central nervous system. I would appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.]]>
