Lifting for strength

[SpokenGift]

I don’t want to look particularly like a body builder but I want to get as strong as possible. What kind of reps should I be doing to gain strength?

Between 1 and 8.

4-6 and build consistency at a lower weight then increase with deloads

you can push yourself on days doing 3-4 but i would not max out unless it is actual competition day.

I stick with low reps high weight (although not more than 90% of my 1rm), for a large number of sets.

4-8 is what I usually do. I definitely wouldn’t max out too often as Steve said

5 to 8 reps is where I go when working on strength

Look to add high weight low reps for strength and try to move the weight quick.
