Rep Ranges

[Sully]

And just to be clear, I never said I was right, or that you were wrong. I simply said that I followed a DUP training split. And my philosophy isn’t mine per se. It’s one that has been advocated by scientists that are much smarter than I am, that’s why I follow it.

As I said before, training based on muscle fiber type is questionable at best. I’m not smashing that it has no validity, just that even the scientists that are doing those studies still have a lot of questions about whether or not there is any benefit to training that way.

I have swopped over to higher reps and I like it. I have noticed improvements in a few body parts. Most sets are 15+ reps. Sometimes I add in drop or rest paused sets as well.

Yeah, regardless of your rep scheme there’s still a lot of good scientific evidence for drop sets, rest pause sets, pyramid sets, etc. Anything that creates a new stimulus forces adaptation in the body and will result in gains.

LOL this is just wave training like a Sheiko program or a conjugate system with chains and bands. Stop trying to make the wheel again the Russians already did it for us....

I have done the same mainly due to some injuries. But I am always rotating into low rep work as well.

strife, I like that range as well. You can only train "any way" for so long and then you have to switch it up.

I have fallen back to the higher reps to take a brake from sore joints many times.

I am the same and change things due to various reasons. When I am lower bodyfat I usually add in higher reps or supersets. Not stating that is the best way but just what I prefer to do. With supersets I still go heavy but I can crack up the intensity without going too heavy.

For me all the Rep ranges have their place I like to cycle them in the same workout or weekly I like to change often the stymulus

I have a seen some good results from reducing the sets and hitting the muscle twice a week, with one of the workouts in the week being lower reps and 2nd workout being higher reps

I’ve never heard of conjugate training. I’ll have to hit up Google and do some reading.

I use to always think anything over 10 reps you are doing cardio.
Some muscles though I have found 'for me' respond better to lighter weight and just cramming all the blood in there you can. Biceps, calves, even traps Ill do 15-20 maybe even 25.

Raj, you want traps??? It gets no better.

This is exactly what I have done. Higher frequency but lower volume per day. One day heavy using 6-12 and the other using 15-20 reps.

At the moment 5-10 reps for me. It changes but never very high a part from calves and arms for me.
