I’m doing a three day split but I’m struggling with one thing. I’ve been told I need to target the same muscle group twice a week to see progress but does that mean I need to do the same exercise twice a week or if you can do the same muscle in different positions.

So if I’m trying to work out my chest by doing cable flies one day and push ups another is that the same thing as working it out twice a week?

Also I’m having difficulty understanding exercises in different positions. Is a long position and short position count as separate exercises for the purpose of targeting a muscle twice a week? Thank you.

Right now every exercise I do follows the same pattern.
Put the heaviest weight I can do and do between 8-12 reps failing within that range. I’ll do that for three sets with. Minute and half rest between sets aiming to push myself each week to either reach 12 reps or up the weights. I’ll do this until I can do 12 reps for all three sets before upping the weight and if it feels to easy then I’ll up the weight on the last set to see how I do.

So an example is my seated shoulder press
Set 1: 12kg failed at 11
Set 2 12kg failed at 11
Set 3 12kg failed at 8

Is this correct or is this extremely wrong any advice would be great
