High Reps vs Low Reps - Which is Better? (SCIENCE BASED)

We all love working out but often get confused when choosing the right #repetition range for our exercise.
When we perform any exercise with 12 to 15 reps, this kind of training falls under high repetition weight training. It focuses on muscular endurance, improving stamina, and cardiovascular health. It uses lighter weights, allowing for a greater number of reps. This method is ideal for toning muscles and burning more calories as the metabolic stress is higher in this style of training.
On the contrary, when we do any exercise with low repetition, somewhere between 3-5 reps, it’s called low repetition weight training. This targets strength and power, using heavier weights. It promotes muscle #hypertrophy and increased strength gains. This approach is suited for building #musclemass and maximal strength.
Both methods can be integrated into a balanced training program, depending on individual fitness goals and experience levels, offering benefits from enhanced endurance to greater muscle size and strength. If you are doing compound multi-joint exercises, opt for heavy weight and low repetition. For isolation exercises, you can go with higher repetition and less weight. This way, you can incorporate both repetition ranges into your workout routine.

This is New ! So basically a combination of both high and low rep range should be done in a day so that both fast and slow twitch fibres are worked upon. Thanks for sharing Anubhav! Well explained 😊
