The Best Rep Range and exercise to put on size

One could make a case for women doing lower volume...

As testosterone seems to enhance recovery ability when men are juicing, wouldn't it make sense that men are better at it just by virtue of their higher baseline test levels? That's why men gain muscle faster.
 
Formulae such as the one posted only serve to give a hint of how neurally efficient you are, not what fibers your muscles are predominately composed of.

And Louden, I, too, have seen substantial thigh thickening from Speed Squats.

As for heavy lifting being "easier" in a sense, I agree. The discomfort of lifting heavy is a welcome relief, compared to the searing of pushing my lactate threshold. Some people enjoy the burn, though. I actually prefer training with near-maximal and maximal singles, if I am comparing "feel", to doing anything as high as even 5 reps.

If it weren't for the structure of certain routines, I doubt I'd ever go over triples.

A Powerlifter once said, "Six reps, to me, is cardio." I'm not agreeing with him, but I know what he means, and it's not for lack of conditioning, either.

Lift on.

Most of my arch pain came from sprinting.

Get better shoes, inserts, or orthotics. I have the worlds highest arches and used to have to drug up to race because of shin splints. Then I learned that you can solve that problem, rather than masking the symptoms. :)

Then a woman's intensity would be limited by her lower testosterone capabilities as well, right? They would each be training maximally within their own limitations. :confused:
 
Most people give too much thought to fiber type and do not concentrate enough on weight progression, this is what matters.

I guarantee if you do a brutal 20 rep set of squats, adding 2-5 lbs a week, you'll see incredible leg growth even if some chart said your legs are primarily slow-twitch.
