What rep range do you train in?

[Acela]

8-12 usually

 

[Mac173]

8-12 unless I'm really trying to get a burn or I'm training calves.

 

[Mrpumped]

9-15 rep range for me right now. Just changed up from 4-8 rep range.

 

[JimBoy]

Currently bulking so 6-8

When not bulking or cutting 8-12

Cutting 10-15

 

[tracemhunter]

Usually 8-12.

 

[MichaelMacGyver]

I switch it up alot
One week I might do 5 reps, the next 8, and the next 10. I always feel I hit the muscle in a different way. Some parts are obviously higher reps. abs, calves

 

[Faizakafez]

Upper is 8-12
Lower 10-15

All of the above. Mostly 10.

Low heavy reps builf the fast twitch fibers and higher reps build mitochondrea and slow red fibers. You need both for maximum growth.

After a while you'll find out which is more promindent for you and that's where you should put the empahasis. One size does not fit all.

I agree. I respond better to low reps heavy weight. But i do work in the 8-10 range between 5x5 programs.
