2:18:52 - 2:24:39 (05:46)
Balancing different types of workouts, especially strength and hypertrophy, can affect performance in subsequent workouts, particularly with large compound movements for speed and power, due to fatigue and muscle damage. Additionally, the practicalities of supersetting or staggering exercises can be difficult in a crowded gym.

Summary
The recommended number of sets for a well-rounded exercise program is three to 20 per workout, with the general range being three to five sets for power or strength training. While adding other exercises such as calf raises, curls, or jogging is okay for power and speed, introducing fatigue may compromise recovery for strength training.

Balancing different exercise goals like strength, power, and hypertrophy may lead to compromised results, especially when supersetting with other exercises in between workouts. Rest times may also be too long or highly variable due to limited space and machines in the gym.

Summary
Deloading is important in strength training as it allows the body to recover and prevent injuries. Three to 5% increase per week of intensity is recommended for hypertrophy, but it is not practical to do on a regular basis in an open commercial gym.
