Question From A Newbie

For building muscle is it better to use high weight and low reps or low weight and high reps?

 

[BobbyJenious]

Basic and compound movements (I.E Squats, deads, bent rows, military press, bench press, dips, bench press, etc.) using moderate weight, not sacrificing form as this is much more important to establish then moving heavy weight improperly. Shoot for the 6-10 rep range, couple your training with proper diet and sufficient rest and you'll be stylin bro. Welcome to the boards, and remember, the search button is you're best friend.

hey bro, welcome to the board...as far as building muscle...it depends. some people's bodies respond better to high reps, and some people bodies respond better to low reps. you gotta figure out what works better for you. and the only way to do that is to experiment in the gym...personally i find that if you want to mix strength and size, a range of 6-8 is best.
