Your prayers: answered! For millennia, experts and gurus have argued what the best rep range for building muscle is and it has DIVIDED the fitness industry.
There are the "gym bros" who insist on the 8-12 rep range as the "golden zone" and if you DARE leave it, you'll stay small forever.
Then there's the new school, evidence-based community that start every sentence with "well the research states that..." who say ANY rep range will work.
In this episode, I'll explain why both parties are right, but why I ultimately agree with one - backed by science and long-term anecdote.
I'll also discuss the direction of correlation between muscle and strength - does more muscle cause more strength or does the strength comes first and THEN the muscle.
I talk about "hard sets," what they are, why they're important, and how you can start using fatigue to your advantage in your training. In this discussion, I'll talk about some of the limitations of research and why not all of the conclusions drawn can be applied to you.
