Hanging out in the 10 rep range with intensity being to the point where, by the final reps, form starts to break down has made me my biggest gains.

I love this vid! Super educational and helpful. I'm curious, have you ever used Next Level Diet? I got a personalized muscle-building meal plan from them and I love it.

Stamina plays a part. After 15 squats your out of breath. Also, when you do 30reps lateral raises you could probably do 35, maybe even 40. It's way more difficult to train to failure with lager reps.

Love a new Picture Fit video, always entertaining and informative!

Hey PictureFit. Injured for the fourth month now, and I hate it. Only positive is, that I'm so motivated whenever I get back at some point, hopefully! Thanks for another great and informative video! :)

[SobaSugoi]

I have watched at least 20-30 of your videos in the last two weeks and learned so much, appreciate all the knowledge and help!

In terms of hypertrophy, I find any rep range in which the target muscle is the limiting factor and induces a good mind muscle connection is the one that works best.

[TheIgnoredGender]

I do 7-10 reps for my compound lifts and I do 10-15 reps for most isolation exercises.

[IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

Even if a 6-15 range is ideal for hypertrophy it's better still to change up your rep range every once in a while. So a range of rep ranges is better than any particular rep range. In other words, as long as you're actually working out, changing things up every once in a while, using good form, and putting in the effort, it's all good.

Miss you every time. Thank you for always maintaining the quality.

Your videos stay reminding me that I'm outchea doing the bare minimum in the gym 😂

[HriskataXcell]

Hey PicFit, when are we gonna see your current workout routine and bulking/cutting plan? Would be amazing to share some of your personal progress with us!

[dominictappella-nicholson]

If you get to 10 reps with ease, up the weight. Best advice I was ever given.

Also, use superset exercises with maximum 2 minute rest times to stress the muscles properly.

[CM-izny]

My current workout is 6-10 reps in 10 sets per muscle group. So far I like it alot.

Rep ranges don't matter unless it's on compound lifts. Going heavy for a few reps will dramatically help with strength compared to going lighter with more reps. Compounds become pretty taxing after like 8 reps and IMO should be kept a no more than 8.

Following RPE/RIR should help most lifters get the most bang for their buck on their lifts regardless of rep ranges. But this is just anecdotal and just really helps me. Wonder if anyone else feels the same?

[cherubinth]

Good to know that this is not too complex. Sometimes it sounds like a science where unless you do everything right you will never progress.

[praisebetoAllah]

i absolutely love your videos, amazing man.
