Also, the pump and burn is amazing at that range.

[TheKillermouse]

I’m driving and listening to this. I heard 20 rep range of squats and my legs just got a pump.

[danielbhagwandas]

I agree with this from experience if I do 15-20 reps all the time I get gains but after a while it slows down then I jump 8-12 and get gains again so therefore mixing the rep range is key and it’s not talked about enough everything is 4x10-12 reps

[potentatewags]

This is exactly what I needed. I've plateaued, having been doing 8-10 rep range and was thinking about switching it up.

[Paul-ykds]

I'm gonna try this more than ever before, thanks for the inspiration guys!

[achristfollowingturnbullma]

I do 21 light 7 heavy 14 light 7 heavy 7 light 7 heavy and squat lunge or deadlift in between. It worked phenomenally for me I gained 24lb of muscle and lost 24lb of fat in 6 months I still think it is incredible I’ve never heard of anyone natty gaining so much whilst simultaneously losing fat.

[UltimateHibz]

My workouts are already too long, but for sure its good to know there's another option if I plateau

[FathomlessJoy]

so many new words to ad to my brocabulary. thanks!

but also really this confirms what I have been seeing. I spent years as a natty dad bod trying the low rep high weight split days bs. I watched in dismay as all you gear heads get needle jacked and had to suck it because I'd rather have dad bod than be a steroids addict. then last year, because I moved onto a sailboat, I began to row a dinghy around from the boat to shore, getting provisions and water, etc. My shoulders just took off. Got defined AND pumped and I haven't lifter in over a year. It was not even that long of exercise - just ten minutes rowing to shore and ten minutes back, but every day or every other day. So I thought hmmm I want to do with this back and arms and legs, etc. Started high reps, low weight full body workouts, also with calisthenics, and biceps and back are lit, more size gains in 2 months than in 2 years of traditional bro science lifting. Also I don't get that super hungry thing going on after a workout and I don't have to join a gym for access to Olympic bars and piles of heavy steel wheels -- can lift full body workouts with a couple gallon jugs filled with H2O in just a few minutes.

Im thinking One thing to consider is balancing your recovery sleep /protein, due to higher cortisol produced .

[jameswoodall]

Got into this high rep stuff for an entirely different reason. Its's because I'm an old fart that has trashed his joints. Long time ago I decided to go high rep low weight. But I used 15 reps as high. Didn;'t see much difference. Joints still hurt like crazy. But being stubborn, I kept at it. But about a month ago I watched mountaindog's video doing a min of 25 reps a set. Just magic for me!!! Yeah, it takes a lot of mental strength to carry this off. Now I leave the gym with hurting muscles but happy joints. I enjoy gym but now its'sa pleasure.

[connorgames]

There are so many ways to do this. You can. Do weekly changes, daily changes, block cycles. Try them all and have fun.

[doctorllama]

I'm doing 10 sets of push ups to failure every hour and use different and creative variations for each set, same for pull ups, everytime I enter my room I did pull ups to failure, I do 5 sets of 100 squats when doing homework with different variations, then I do 10 min of ab floor work before sleeping. I also want to train mma and I run every morning

[celiactrunc]

Everytime I do 20 reps workouts I eat like crazy all day and put so much muscle it is scarry

[KnuckleHead]

I always did high rep ranges especially with body weight and I got pretty big

[johnnyelowpez]

Question, so if you’re in the lifting heavy/ low rep phase… do you lift heavy even on the isolation exercises or just the compound lifts?

[theburningelement.]

I love high reps thay ALLWAYS make me feel strong

[TishJam]

I’m a little confused still. So do you do 1 set of 20 reps? Or you have multiple sets?

[anewperson]

For people who don't know Arnold was poor as hell and got huge in his back yard and basements he just had no legs that's what he needed gym for but you can build huge body at home just always do as much as you can and eat clean and rest as much as possible within 6 month you gonna look and feel different within 2 years nobody would ever tell you was fat at all

[thebeast-vnhn]

How about high rep with heavy weight you youtube specialists dont seems to know the answer about that

[RyanOstarineGarcia]

first this guy in a few videos back said he made the most gains lifting in the low rep range 1-6 reps now he says the opposite. Im starting to think some of the things these guys say is bullshit
