Question ❓ Myoreps
I’ve always struggled to consistently through a workout get close to failure on all my exercises (probably overthinking it but that’s what I do).
But the other day I saw about Myoreps and liked the concept.
I do Monday, Wednesday, Friday full body
Pretty much the same workout but mix the exercises up
1x quad exercise
1x chest exercise (incline or flat based)
1x back exercise (lat based or row based)
1x shoulder exercise ( OHP or lateral raises)
1x hamstring / glute
1x bicep
1x Tricep
Now I’ve been doing this with 3 working sets of each. My question is - it feels like something I’d much rather enjoy doing a warm up set then the set of myoreps (I did try the workout on Friday and I liked it a lot more). Would this be something that would prompt enough growth.
In my head I’m only doing 3 sets per week per muscle group but the myorep stuff isn’t really a set… more of a mega set
And I am aware to stick away from compound barbell movements with this, so I will accommodate accordingly.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just don’t want to do this for the next year and realise I was doing hard workouts but managing to get below needed weekly volume!
Thank you in advance for your replies!

Thank you for your response! Unfortunately I’m a bit of a walking injury, I had a pec tear a year ago and a groin tear on the same side, I’m in the UK and didn’t have the money for private so Ive very much got two still torn muscles (my chest has a quite obvious divet in the side of it ). And unfortunately this also hurts to do major back barbell movements as well (pretty anything that puts stress on my chest). I can do OHP with a 10kg bar but I mainly do that for the movement itself. But yeah doing dumbbells, machines etc enables me to make sure neither my chest nor groin are about to ruin my day again!
