Introduction: The performance of sequential sets for the same muscle group may cause a progressive reduction on practitioner’s ability to sustain load, on the other hand, the block model of sets may reduce such effect. Objective: Compare the strength performance of two models of sets organization (grouped and block) in well trained men. Methods:  The experimental procedure was performed in three sessions. The first session was a familiarization, and then a 10RM testing of biceps curl (BC) and triceps pushdown (TP) was conducted. The second and third sessions were randomized, and in each session just one model was used. Grouped Sets Model (GS): 8 sets of 10RM for each exercise (BC and TP) were performed, and Block Sets Model (BS): each exercise (BC and TP) was alternated every 4 sets (each block) twice, until 8 sets of 10RM were performed for each exercise. A rest interval of 2 minutes between sets and exercises was adopted. A repeated-measures ANOVA (2x2) was used. A significance of 5% was adopted. Results: GS and BS showed a decrease in impulse variable. For BC exercise, there was a decrease in impulse for GS (P<0.001), and BS (P=0.005). For the TP exercise, there were a decrease in impulse for GS (P<0,001), and BS (P=0,007). Conclusion: Both methods of strength training (grouped and blocks of sets) reduce the impulse of biceps curl and triceps pushdown at similar level.
