When looking at rep ranges and building strength, it's important to consider time frame. Personally, a lot of low reps work builds strength rapidly, but I fatigue really quickly, so it's unsustainable. In the long run, a lower intensity and higher volume builds muscle and strength better.

You build muscle in the kitchen as long as you stimulate in the gym.

Anything other than 0 probably does sonething

Would higher reps at a lower weight mean you can train closer to failure?

The last rep before failure at 70%1rm means you're training until you reach a level of muscle fatigue where you fail at 70%. The last rep before failure at 90% means you train to a level of muscle fatigue where you fail at 90%. So 70%1rm weight set you're training until your muscles are more fatigued.

Could you get the best of both worlds using drop sets? The initial reps in the set use heavy weights, so you practice form under heavy load etc. But then you thoroughly fatigue the muscles by training them until they can't lift even a lighter weight?

I have a deep appreciation for heavy singlea and doubles. I usually tack on an extra heavy single after each of my 2 main lifts . I like doubles because it’s an easy way to jump up to working sets of 3+ reps where you actually start building muscle and making solid strength gains.

💯th comment.

Yet I thought higher rep range was for bodybuilding and lower rep was for powerlifting?

[scottpope]

Whatever muscle I gain from heavy weight and low reps sticks around longer than the high rep/lighter weights type workouts, plus I'm waaaay stronger

The Hungarian leg blast program has done crazy things for my squat in strength and legs in size when I have done it properly. In my opinion extremely high reps with extremely high intensity using a light load in one set to failure can do things that nothing else replicates. A lot like sprinting.

Nothing beats the Widowmaker set at 70% of 1rm.

Progressive overload are what build muscles. As long as you do that, it doesn’t matter what rep ranges you prioritize

0:23 Ok, the algorithm is doing it's job with this vid.

People will eventually learn it’s not the training style it’s the effort.

Do you pair high rep ranges with the smaller squat plug and lower rep ranges with the larger one?

[colinstaines]

I like high reps when I am bulking and recovery is good so a higher total volume, and low reps when I am cutting and recovery is lacking low so a lower total volume. Then I can always go pretty much all out

[LagmanMD]

Damn those Rogue racks are awesome! I wish I had those at my gym 😢

[fitoverforty]

Hepburn Method builds size! 8 sets of 2-3 reps. Yes, any rep range can be effective.

[TheOmengod]

I think it's a lot more complex than what you are describing. Also, the nervous system comes into play.

[kougamishinya]

How can you gain strength without building muscle like the muscle has to get bigger to be stronger?

[moritzstein]

when high reps not building more muscle, whx are you looking like you are not lifting ?
