How many reps should you do? ๐งฌ Letโs break it down by science.
Training without understanding rep ranges is like lifting without a plan; inefficient at best. Hereโs what research tells us about training adaptations across the spectrum:
๐๏ธโโ๏ธ 1โ5 reps = Max Strength
Activates the nervous system to improve motor unit recruitment and force output. Think CNS gains, not muscle size.
๐ฅ 6โ12 reps = Hypertrophy
Ideal for mechanical tension + metabolic stress; the sweet spot for muscle growth.
โฑ๏ธ 12+ reps = Muscular Endurance
Improves fatigue resistance and local muscular efficiency. Best for work capacity and sport-specific conditioning.
๐ก Progressive overload matters more than magic numbers, but rep ranges guide your intent.
๐ Which range are you focusing on right now and why?
