Tom, what’s the reason for doing that many sets of one exercise vs the regular 3x12 sets? Just curious.

At this point you can see I stick to pretty basic lifts. Strength gains are a thing of the past at my age, it's more about retaining all the strength and muscle I have. I don't plan out much of my workout, I kind of go with the flow and see how my body is responding that day, and if it's not, I change the intensity somehow...shorter rest, higher reps, increased sets, varied order....whatever seems to give me the best workout that day.
Maybe I'm just really getting healthy again after my 19 weeks down in 2018, maybe that's why my sets increased lately?
I know I didn't really answer the question.
I'm going kind of with Arnold's old "instinctive training principles"? Yeah, I'll go with that.
