Rep Range
With our workouts in the weight room the rep ranges that are performed dictate the desired results for our fitness goals. Whether you are trying to gain strength, build muscle or enhance muscular endurance, the rep ranges that are preformed play a vital role in achieving this. Higher rep ranges build muscular endurance (15-20 reps per set), medium rep ranges build quality muscle (8-12 reps per set) and low rep ranges build strength (3-6 reps per set). With your fitness goals in mind, you must be able to use each one of these effectively. The volume that you perform in each workout (the number of sets and exercises performed) determine the results you achieve. Too much volume and you risk overtraining, too little and the muscle won’t be stimulated properly. It is a good idea to try all of these rep ranges to keep your muscles guessing, spurring continual change in your body. Keep in alignment with the body that you want to achieve, using rep ranges to their full advantage.
