The 3 BEST Workout Rep Ranges to BUILD MUSCLE, Burn Fat & Get Stronger | Mind Pump 1827

[@Jslaw3355]

I have been a lifting for over 10 years now. Crazy that I have learned, more in the 9-10 months of listening to this podcast then I had in 9 years of lifting. Keep doing what you’re doing. Honestly you all are changing a lot of peoples lives out there.

[@glamnails4554]

Yes 100% ,I have learned so much from this amazing guys!!

[@elleon9895]

You must’ve not lifting for 10 years 😭

[@joshlewis5743]

Before listening to you guys, I was doing splits with 3x5 for over a decade, adjusting the exercises periodically. After listening to you guys, I switched to full body 3 times a week, bumping up to 3x10 while dropping my calories, and I've managed to drop over 20 lbs in 3 months without my 1RM dropping, you guys have helped me so much, thank you!

[@darsh9512]

I love how you guys give so much free info instead of being like other fitness influencers, saying to buy their programs if you want to look good. You guys are willing to do more giveaways than all other influencers and genuinely care for your viewers. There’s a lot of bs in the fitness industry, but I know that I can always count on you guys to keep it real. Trying different rep ranges really can be a game changer for when you hit a plateau. Thanks for everything guys!

[@JayDen-gm7cf]

Another favorite, your guys' transparency is incomparable.

[@MindPumpShow]

Thank you!

[@pereiraamg2943]

My husband is so stubborn. He always train the same way, same exercises, same reps, just change the loads. I’n trying convince him to listen to you, guys. Great content!!

[@tiffandtimcostello3260]

I learn so much from this podcast and believe me, I need it! I am a 45 yo mother to 8 children (ages 4-19) and just started resistance training in my 40s. Boy is hard to navigate through all the nonsense out there. I’m don’t have the time or money to waste with program hopping, much less the desire, but I am constantly learning from your gentlemen and am so grateful to have found you!

[@eldigan530]

I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure out why I would workout and not see any gains. Wish I'd found you guys years ago. Started implementing your tips and am finally starting to see change. 10/10 would recommend

[@1888CHAD8881]

One tip is if you dont feel pain the next day, you didnt train hard enough.

[@CoVa923]

​@1888CHAD8881 this goes against what these guys say most of the time lmao

[@isabele4436]

I can't believe it took me so long to find you guys. I always felt like the fitness magazines and fitness influencers didn't make a lot of sense. I'm finally changing my body with the confidence that I'm doing something that's really going to work for the rest of my life. I work out with dumbbells in a community group with other middle age ladies and they started seeing results in my body. Now I see them bringing heavier weights for the first time ever. It feels great to be a positive influence on them. The work you do reaches farther than you can imagine. Keep up the good work.

[@rctorres09]

Stumbled upon this channel by happenstance and I haven't been able to stop listening and learning. In the car, the shower, down time at work, during my morning lifting sessions, and before bed. It's practically on auto play. Can't thank you guys enough for all the knowledge I've been picking up and adding to my toolbox!

[@GeorgeCaulfield1]

Anything that you take to failure. Stop counting reps and keep pushing until you cant. Simple as that!

[@amanwithactualknowledge8455]

Bald dude has personally experienced every body change and training faults that we do I swear he has a personal story for everything.

[@intrinsc]

As a former active duty soldier who got off the path during the pandemic, this channel has begun the journey to get back on the path and rock solid again. Thank you!

[@gkmaz4030]

I am a 48 year old female … and I am so thankful to have found this podcast. You guys are the best. I listen as I work all day and you e changed my life. I have worked out since I was a very young (6,7 years old) as my mother was an aerobics instructor then opening her own Aerobic business. She was the Jane Fonda of our area. I’ve worked out forever. Weights. hiit. yoga. pilates. spin hill running - no pain. no gain. well, I think I was overtraining- as I worked out and killer myself 6-7 days a week for 1.5-2.5 hours a day. I started doing heavier weights ( added Dead lifts) & BAM … my ass us growing. finally seeing biceps popping - shoulders rounding …. thank you. fueling better, working out less but heavier - still 6-7 days but I feel so much better. I would work out til it hurt (so good 🤪) 🙏. kristine

[@nardodelrosario450]

This show has been extremely helpful helping me gain muscle and burn body fat naturally. Knowledge of what you're doing and why you have to do it is super valuable. I've been training for 4 years and still find a lot of things I can tweak.

[@filipcza2]

Guess I'll finally give 15-20 range a try. As a low rep guy I dread it already, but I feel I could use the cardio and new muscle stimulus. 20 rep squats, here I come!

[@joshhoobler5769]

I took notes on this one. As much as I enjoy the episodes with all the laughs these ones that are 100% fitness are absolute gold. Thanks for this -- really, invaluable advice

[@ryanluce9864]

Until I started listening to Mind Pump I always did 8-12 rep range and now every month I mix up rep range and focus I am so grateful for this podcast and channel because my workouts are so much improved and lean on programming from MAPS system. So grateful of Mind Pump team listen every day!

[@arroyojoh]

I think another benefit of the lower rep ranges, is that it showed me where my imbalances were in my body, most obviously on bench press, where one side was compensating for the other. Since my trainer gave me a lower range block I notice the imbalances..well…balancing out lol. Much love guys, the info you put out is priceless for those of us on any juncture of our fitness journey

[@jackiehalbertwaskul2162]

Mindset is something I've been incorporating into my own health journey. I don't think I was even doing it intentionally. It was more a way to not be so hard on myself and change the way I'm feeling / viewing my workouts (as they don't all burn a lot of calories). I want to be fit, feel good, strong and move well as I continue aging (I'm in my 40's). I really enjoy your podcasts and the information you provide. So many times I think you're in my head; what you discuss is where my mind and curiosities often wander but doesn't always fit the narrative of the info out there. Thank you for your content. I would love to win the ultimate bundle and have your programs guide me as well.

[@faizansheikh6010]

This podcast is the best thing I have discovered last year. I have been doing everything wrong (that would be an understatement) for about 6-7 years but then when the COVID lockdown initiated, I started reading books, listening to podcasts and research papers on what really drives obesity, helps gain muscle and topics related to human anatomy and physiology. These guys really make me understand that even after learning so much, how less I still know and continually inspire me to keep learning. Thank you so much!!

[@Yamas258]

What about a combination, of doing 4-5 sets of low rep high weight, and then close it off with 2-3 sets of high reps ?

[@rowenapagaran7101]

I’ve been following you guys for about a year now and the information I’ve gotten from you guys are so profound! I’ve lost 100+lbs and currently trying to gain muscle and preparing for a transformation body building show in October! Keep up the great work!

[@stephendaedalus6192]

Experienced lifter, 42, train nearly every day, my preference was to work aiming for 8 reps, so strength. Tried hypertrophy aiming at 15, huge gains, mega pumps, loved it. Dropped to power/explosivity, massive PRs, 1RM went up, super heavy, but no pump, no calorie-burning heart rate, and sore joints for the first time ever after days. I'd be keeping power blocks to a minimum, as it doesn't seem worth it.

[@koniichua18]

You guys have helped me mature in and out of the gym so much. I used to be all over the place, going in with no plan, no care for reps/rest/sets and just did whatever expecting results. But now I know so much better thanks to ya'll.

[@bolesismis515]

Always liked these types of videos, but the most helpful ones were no doubt on how to fix my sleep and the mental game. Underrated aspect of a fitness based channel

[@deannajsilva]

I appreciate your explanation of the mindset necessary for low rep ranges because it’s absolutely different. I’m in my second round of Maps Anabolic. The first time around I started in phase II and I’m now realizing why that was a mistake, and that I should’ve listened to you guys to start from the beginning. Anyway, the results of the switch between low to high reps is just unreal! Even though I’m making mistakes in my journey, your content helps me readjust so quickly that I experience minimum negativity from those mistakes! My progress in the few months I’ve implemented your methods have yielded my greatest progress!

[@a_woman_who_loves_to_lift]

It's been a real pleasure to witness the development of these men's personas over the years - Adam, in particular. At 44:09, he dons the hat of wise man (usually occupied by Sal) to showcase an astute observation. 💯 As a woman who started out her training in the higher rep ranges of bodybuilding, I caught the dopamine rush of lifting heavy and have been training in the traditional powerlifting style for the past 6 months. Unwilling and afraid to let it go, I finally feel supported and encouraged by this episode to give my joints a break and work in higher rep ranges. Thank you @mindpump

[@deviwhitt]

Just started working at 15 reps after about three years at 8-12 reps (aside from at home lighter weight/high rep training during gym shutdowns). Loving this programming shift. Your videos and podcast have added a lot to creating and changing up my workout plans!

[@xunoriginalnamex]

I've been stuck in the "3 sets of 8-12 reps" mode for YEARS and wondered why I was a hardgainer. My idea of "switching things up" or "muscle confusion" was based on doing different types of exercises or varying the rest time, but never the rep range. I started Anabolic a few weeks ago and I can already feel a major difference, and I think a huge part of it is that neurological connection. I didn't truly realize how much weight I could pack on because I was always thinking about how to pace myself enough to crank out at least 8. The 1-4 rep range with longer rest times has been a game changer, can't wait until I get to short rest + 15-20 reps later!

[@desireecotto5640]

I’ve always been on and off working out and keep my repo ranges at 8-12, but now realizing I always start to lose momentum soon after, I definitely gotta start mixing it up. Excited to try the 3-5 reps!

[@paullomasney2439]

What a great episode! I really appreciated the insight on what to focus on in each rep range. I always struggle with not feeling the target muscles at low rep ranges. Thank you for finally helping me see that isn't the goal!

[@kathrinelehmann6189]

After trying to loose weight by doing endless amount of cardio and cutting my calories a crazy amount I realized that I was in the progress of developing an eating disorder. I started listening to you guys and started weight lifting for the first time in my life. I’ve now been lifting for over a year and I’ve never felt healthier in my life. Getting in the headspace of getting stronger instead of losing weight made a tremendous improvement in every aspect of my health. So thank you for your amazing advice!

[@erictadlock8137]

I wanted to thank you guys for the amount of different content you cover. It's great that we have you all discussing lifting from your different perspectives. I''m an old power lifter that has paid the price with knee and shoulder surgeries. I 've changed my goals and am working out with higher reps and now focusing on health and feeling good. Want to thank for balanced approach and the advice fir reaching our goals. Appreciate you guys.

[@coltonstalcup7533]

I live mostly in powerlifting 5 and under ranges. But, about once a year I spend about 8 weeks working 15-20. I can't tell a huge difference in the way my body respond until I go back to lifting heavier at low rep ranges. My recovery during the workout is always much better when I go back.

[@neilhall8339]

Honestly it’s episodes like these that bring me back, really puts the MIND in Mindpump

[@limairisanchez325]

That higher rep range is some we practice frequently with CrossFit programs. As well as that lower rep range. We can squat heavy AND run a 6-10 minute mile. Makes you prepared for just about anything! (Trained properly of course)

Golden episode, thank you

As a fitness enthusiast and online fitness coach, your content has changed my life!

Thanks for everything you guys do and keep producing the TRUTH 💪🤟🏻

[@ejr5236]

Just wanna say that I recently got back into fitness after not working out for years and I stumbled upon your channel and let me tell you guys, I became a fan instantly.

I've been training for close to a year now and I naturally gravitate towards the 8-12rep range. But because I found Mind Pump I've been able to experience the continual growth and progress by ocasionally switching to other rep ranges, more so the novelty has helped me stay more consistent. Thak You. You've earned my trust with the many tips y'all share and I can't wait to see the results y get from running symmetry.

I originally found Mind Pump because I was looking for a sustainable way to be fit and healthy, but I’ve found more and more that I am listening just as much for the mental piece. I really want to start my own business, and listening to you guys and all of the experience and advice you have has been so inspiring to me, not to mention all of the great knowledge from your partners and guests!

As in fitness, I know it is going to be hard, but I trust it will pay off in the end. I'd love to get this bundle! It would be so helpful.

[@Washoii]

Awesome content! Let's be real though, the best rep range is "one rep" of "going to the gym" 3 to 4 sets a week. Until I consistently worked out I didn't see almost any changes, yes I am still tubby. But be it 5x5 or a bro split, until I consistently went to the gym, I saw almost no change. Keep the podcast pumping gents. Your info is so valuable and has been a great help in keeping me consistent!

The information and challenge of thinking differently from this show is Prime! I will be pursuing an elite trainer certification through NASM starting in July and although I have 10 years of experience in exercising and know I'll gain a ton of technical knowledge from the elite trainer program, this show has a niche to it that I can't get anywhere else. I've already learned so much in the past year listening and will definitely be getting a program soon from the best of the best so I can be the best in my small city.

I have been working out for around a year now and your work has taught me so much and given me the confidence to take the first steps into the wilderness of fitness myself... much love x

[@victorsml]

I'm glad I've discovered your channel (and getting started on a few of the MAPS programs), it's been really enlightening and helpful. I hear you guys talk a lot about "muscle adaptation" and always thought in my mind that it was all about triggering muscle soreness, but this episode about rep ranges and changing it up made a lot of intuitive sense to me!

[@peterroberts2986]

Had to comment during the super bundle madness not that I don't already watch these guys multiple times a day. These guys are forever improving the form of fitness media. The debates, topics, studies everything they reference I ponder for like weeks afterwards working out. Nutrition they crush everything, more than ever these guys are again doing the work that needs to be done to try and help us out of this obesity hole. Much respect, I live in the South and these guys are more than necessary for everyone to listen to. Keep on killing them fellas. In closing my latest round of hot hot slams below, Sal looks like he's auditioning for a new bodybuilding act opening in Vegas called Grey Man Group Adam looks like his last stint away from the hotel restaurant did not work out and now he's auditioning for top chef. Justin looks like Sal's apprentice in the grey man group, called J gray the grayest J.

[@Andrea_k86]

Lol!

[@DavidDoingLife]

I find evolving rep ranges really solve this problem. I begin with 4 sets of 4 reps. Then add reps next week so 6-5-4-4, then 8-6-5-4, 10-8-6-4 ect.. until i reach the rep goal of 40 reps between the 4 sets, then add weight. This to me really gives the benefit of all rep ranges and does not burn me out on one rep range at a time

[@champd12z]

I think this is arguably the best show I've heard from you guys. You stayed on point from start to finish (I'm sure Doug was happy about this) and you explained in great detail the benefits and how long you should do each one and I learned a lot from this. Thank you guys!!! BTW you guys usually have more sponsors than a drug program but didn't see one on this episode 😎

Hey guys great content as always. I'm a new trainer and this is one of those really simple but overlooked topics. I've struggled with sticking to a solid strength focused "phase" and low rep ranges and give up and go back to like the 8-12 ranges all the time. I purchased a powerlifting program from a great local trainer and followed exactly how it was written. Fast forward to today, no joke, within 2 -3 weeks I've noticed my aesthetics improve in the way I've always been trying and all I had to do was actually follow the different phase.
