I just wonder, cos i'm thinking to tone my muscle and i really wonder, shud i do more reps or sets more?

before u tone ur muscle, u must have good amount of muscle mass first.
if u don't have muscle, then u should do lower reps with heavy weight.

common belief is that higher reps with lighter weight is good for toning up muscle. however every individual is different, it may not work for u.

so i think the best way is to experience urself. see how ur body response to the workout...

copied from the book "Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle"
Strength/Power 1 - 5 reps
Hypertrophy (size) & some strength 6 - 12 reps
Local endurance/ little size 12-20 reps
Abs & Calves 10-25 reps

regarding sets, general rule is 3 sets per exercise (not including the warm up sets).

BFFM set guidelines
Advanced:
Large muscle groups: 9 -12 sets per body part
Small muscle groups: 6 - 9 sets per body part
Intermediate:
Large muscle groups: 6 - 8 sets per body part
Small muscle groups: 5 - 6 sets per body part

i had got tried before more set and more reps. But the only problem is, which weight you should stick to?

It is really weird as i did it on push up, 35repsx6 and then 20repsx10. My chest muscle is like kind of toning up but the tricep and shoulder is getting bigger and more solid. But it require you to do it from 3 times per week and the reps and sets are keep on increasing until the stage where you will need to push 400 times.

Simple.
Get some1 to sit on you then, do 10 sudah cukup

Ok i will try my best....well i got alot of ppl saying if i go gym i will look great cos they say i got the body. So i will give it a try k . Thx alot.
