More reps or more weight? 🤔 The answer is situational and it all comes down to form. If your program calls for 10 to 12 reps and by rep 10 your reps are slowing way down, you’re fighting to keep form, and you’re close to or hitting failure, do not increase the weight. Adding more weight there will compromise form, which actually reduces the effective load on the muscle. Progressive overload only works when the reps are clean. On the flip side, if you’re flying through the last few reps with con

Rep range doesn’t matter as much as people think. Anybody saying low reps for strength, moderate reps for muscle, and high reps for “tone” is fueling the misconception. You can build muscle in 5–8 reps, 8–15 reps, or even 15–30 reps… IF you’re actually training close to failure. That said, spending more time in lower rep ranges (around 5–10) can make a lot of sense for most people. Especially intermediates who’s training efficiency becomes more important to see further body composition improveme

How to increase your set weights? The strict sets of ”x” reps is slowing you down. Better solution = rep ranges! This means that you will do for example 6-10 reps per set. Choose a weight that you can get around 6-7 reps in and then you keep working with that weight until you get again to 9-10 reps. When you accomplish that, try increasing the weight. Probably you can do less reps but it 100% fine if it is within the rep range of the earlier designated 6-10. Keep working that again up until 9-10

High Reps vs Low Reps: Best Rep Range for Muscle Size

I recently chatted with someone about higher reps vs lower reps in strength training. The question became “isn’t it better to do more reps with a lighter weight?” As a trainer I know this one is not a simple yes or no answer. The key here though is specifically explaining what getting stronger does for you so you can be the judge as to if this makes sense for your goals. Take my example in the video. If my 1 rep max deadlift, which target glutes and hamstrings, is 35lbs. I can probably only hand

I always talk about how max squats and max deadlifts are extremely dangerous. Chasing one-rep maxes dramatically increases injury risk to your spine, hips, and knees. Less weight. More reps. Better control. You’ll build real strength and stay safer for it. ✅Follow @drdavidabbasi for More Daily Medical Content & Health Tips! 🌴😷Schedule a consultation to see Dr. Abbasi as a patient in Delray Beach!
