High rep vs Low rep

[YoungNatural]

5 years. Been logging my diet and workouts for 4. And I wasn't saying it just works for me, as obviously everyone reacts differently. I was saying that the popular opinion seems to be 8-12 is the hypertrophic range.

My argument about it being good for fat loss is that it would burn a much larger number of calories than a workout with sets of 8-12. I agree that by increasing calorie intake that could be easily mitigated.

You really think 15-30 does more for size than 8-12? I disagree entirely.

I used to think that way too. Until I actually tried it. Yes 15 for upper 20-30 for legs works WAY better than 8-12 for size/

When you say way better do you mean you get a better pump? Or have you logged measurements and seen long term improvements? I'm just curious because I've never heard anyone endorse a 15-30 rep range before. Don't take my questions as doubt, I'm actually very interested in trying it.

Hm. My arms have gone up a few inches in 4-5 months from higher reps. Legs have completely exploded from them. My gym owner was a bber and he set me on this path and it has been working pretty well bro

Evan, my Gym owner as well was a bodybuilder.. and he preaches nothing but the higher 15-30 reps. He has many years of experience as well as many years of training. I just need to increase my food intake I believe to get the results I want.

I agree! Higher reps builds muscle more.. but feed the fuel bro

I know for me high rep squats will make my legs bigger fast. Stronger? No but bigger. I haven't really noticed any other body part that likes 20 or so reps just my legs.

5 years isn't that long really but I am glad you are open to learning. Also I don't know "your popular opinion" but where I come from higher reps will get you greater size. Maybe you should seek out help from pro and semi pro bbers who can help you understand it better. I just know it works.
