How many reps for muscle growth?

[skarsik]

Bro looks the most healthy out of all of the behemoths.

Man is a total gentleman.
Meet him absolutely a gracious human being.

[ryanleclaire]

Looking fantastic for 50. Jay did it right.

[fignewton]

This guy seems to be genuine humble and helpful. Wow

[bobjimbobjim]

Jay got into the body building game, won mr Olympia and became one of the greats, and made it out still healthy and looking good. Man’s a legend

[Seeds-Of-The-Wayside]

I usually start with a weight that I can do six reps with, and work up until I can do about 15 and then I get a heavier weight and start back at 5 or 6 reps. It's always my goal to graduate to a new weight for each exercise

[samuelperezgarcia]

nothing can beat the old recipe: enough weight, correct technique and a proper rep range is always going to give you results

[cashnrg]

Absolutely correct... that's why you're still in the best shape and energy is clearly evident... thanks Jay... love your advice.🤗🤗💥💥💥🙏🙏🙏

[cbjueueiwyru]

I really respect that Jay caveats everything with "I found that this works well for me" instead of being one of those dudes that talk like everyone is the same.

[Cortes-]

Don’t forget that higher reps like 10-15 instead of 3-4 should also result in more time under tension 🤙🏽

[phothewin]

"Any range can build muscle"

Glad that he said this. Just because something isn't optimal, that doesn't mean it can't still lead to significant gains.

Jay is probably one of the dad that would absolutely teach their child most things that he know. Such a good dude man

[dhos]

Gotta listen to the people who have lived the results. 👍

[Alienspecies]

I agree 100% I’ve always done 8 and as of lately I don8-13 and I still grow and still get stronger. Three sets of 8 on three working sets always increased my strength too

[RestaurantManager]

I completely agree Jay. It really comes down to full muscles, good to great form and volume. I’ve followed you since gosh 03 and you’ve always brought fullness and a complete package to the stage.

Shout out to your quad stomp, every time I need that little extra zip, I throw on one of your videos where you made a comeback and took it back from Dexter, that was one of your top 3 if not your top condition ever. Sick bro keep rocking

[mariuszzborowski]

Mike Mentzer would say - the number of reps does not matter. What is important is doing reps until muscle failure, because that is the real stimulus to muscle growth

[rocktolman]

Jay has got to be the goat IMO. Not the most O titles, but to look like he does all these years later while others are in wheelchairs or dead, (no disrespect, love those guys too) he is the all-time pinnacle of bodybuilding.

I use the 1-20 rep range. Works great for me

[RealPlasmodium]

8-15 is the rep range I use for most of my upper body exercises.

[chrismarshall]

Love this guy, so humble and not afraid to give the info straight forward
