High rep vs Low rep

[Jigga14]

I think it's really about time under tension that will give the best muscular hypertrophy. High reps are good, but have your ever done 4 second negatives on each rep? Try it out on your 8-12 range, it will take just as long as 20-30 quick reps but it stimulates the target muscle better than just throwing the weight around for countless reps.

In my training I do not just throw the weight it's all very controlled and slow. Especially doing body weight curls with the TRX straps. I can Just about lay down and Curl my bodyweight on these straps for 15 reps then I step back to lighten the weight in order to finish the last 10-15 reps. It's an amazing pump in my arms. And theres really no way to do this fast without possibly injuring yourself.

I'll give it a try on isolation exercises, my arms have been stalled out just under 18.5" for months

There you go, cause you never know......

I'm sort up confused about how many reps per set he's implementing.

He's what I know to be fact.

6* or fewer reps builds strength. The muscles use glucose as an energy source.

8 - 12 reps increases hypertrophy. Again we see the muscles use glucose a main energy source.

20 or more reps increases muscle definition. After 12 or so reps, the glucose stores around the muscles run out (it takes roughly 60 seconds for glucose stores to be renewed.), the muscles are forced to use fatty acids as fuel source. The result is less fat immediately around the muscles. Which there by increases visible striations and over all muscles definition.

This type of of training (20+ reps) won't increase your size or strength much at all.

* all rep ranges are per set.

Don't believe as much of what you read until you "DO".
Seriously, try it then justify the results with logic.
