There has been debate about whether multiple sets (2-4) of a strength-training exercise produce more strength gains than doing only one set. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, more sets are better. However, if time tends to be an issue, completing even one set can be beneficial, especially if you choose a weight that causes you to reach muscular failure—the point at which you cannot perform any additional repetitions with proper form. So, the bottom line is that both quantity and quality will produce the best results from your strength training.
