[@tomdavies9004]

I would say this is basically great up to a point. I trained like that for a long time, but eventually your body is going to demand variation (not.... literally, but growth is going to slow). And at that point, playing around with higher rep ranges, or even lower rep ranges depending on exercise, can be great- the main thing, as noted here, is closeness to failure. But one thing that didn't get said explicitly (and is worth saying) is that you can and should get clos*er* to failure with isolation/machine exercises, than with heavy compounds under the bar. Where fatigue is less of an issue, you can ramp up the closeness to failure and consequently stimulus.

[@Spencerwilkinson10]

@@tomdavies9004 well I wrestled in college and highschool so how I did it was in the off-season I trained more hypertrophy with isolation and machine exercises and occasionally compound movements and in the regular season I would strength train with mostly compound and free weights. This is how I do it still and I see great results however I think with progressive overload it is fine to stick to that rep range but I agree with what you’re saying

Is it better to go to failure on a lower weight to do more reps?

@@sidpinn7979 Within reason, purely for hypertrophy- yeah. You're able to go closer to failure at lower weights, and that's really what matters for building muscle. That said, that doesn't mean doing sets of 30 for everything. Varied rep ranges are good for growth too, and lower-reps are easier to see progress on, especially if you're a relative newbie. Basically, and unfortunately, there is no one size fits all answer. But you should certainly consider putting some higher-rep/lower-weight work into your plan.

[@johnjohn3993]

No he’s right lmao train for what type of muscle or functionality you want to build, 8-12 reps and focusing on slow eccentric movements is CLEARLY the best range for hypertrophy in any literature worth reading, the reason behind this is because 8-12 reps is generally the perfect balance between number of reps and the amount you can lift for sets to maximize the amount muscle fibers tear (this tearing is what causes hypertrophy). Should you only do 8-12 for every exercise, no probably since most likely you will want to either train for functionality in a sport, eg. Endurance for boxing or another sport, in which case you would do more reps to train for your aerobic energy system, or if your training for power behind punches you would want less reps with more weight and more explosiveness for said power and strength. In both of these cases yes there will be muscle growth meaning there is some hypertrophy, however it’s still less than the 8-12 reps with a slow eccentric granted you truly are pushing yourself in the gym.

Gains can pause and sometimes just switching exercise or reps can trigger next level gains. I also remember doing 15-30 reps for months (after gains had paused), using strict form and actually started losing strength. So again, things are different for each body. Once I went heavy 6-12 reps, and the odd time just 2-3 reps my strength exploded along with gains.

Good to know which muscles are slow twitch dominant and which are fast twitch dominant. Most of the muscles on the front of the body are predominantly fast twitch muscles. Most of the muscles on the back of the body are predominantly slow twitch except triceps. Obliques and abs are slow twitch. But all muscles have some of each and different people have different ratios and a common ratio is 60/40. Most people say use low reps to train fast twitch and high reps for slow twitch but I say you need to train fast and slow twitch for each muscle. I much prefer high reps to get a better pump as i am not looking for strength from low RM as that can injure me. I much prefer to chase the pump as that keeps me coming back to the gym and is a good metabolic (high heart rate) workout !

Thank you Max!

Great vid! TIL THE END... BLOOD CURTLING. STOP LOCKING OUT YOUR KNEES!

[@chunkymonkey3726]

You should do a video on your workout routine! 💪

[@Dogflamingo]

Yo, thanks for this video man. Was always wondering what the purpose of different rep ranges was

[@mariolp2999]

Very Good advice.. especially when you are doing legs... but on the other hand if it is too heavy... your technique will gradually get worse and you won't be putting the maximum tension on the muscle.. you will be focus only on lifting the weight.

[@jajahaha5451]

Periodization is key, each meso cycle should incorporate high reps or low reps even with lower body exercise. Also limiting your self to reps is good for newbies. If you progressed, then you should be looking at reps in reserve for hypertrophy.

Notification gang member in the building 🔥

[@prim7112]

Honestly the way I see it is that, regardless of rep range, if you’re training hard as possible and pushing you’re limits, you’ll see growth and improvement. The science and data are very important im not doubting that Im just saying that ultimately, hard work will stimulate growth

[@sushil.k3556]

U r Absolutely Right Bro 😀❤️👍

[@taqiyukenji]

My plan is simple, start with lower rep & set. Then slowly increasing it based on my ability

[@1982asd]

I think the key is the correct implementation of the practice No need to struggle with heavy weights or go down to the gym tired and forced to work out in physically tired and exhausted condition

[@calesticall128]

This non stop! Your have energy max

[@hnw9986441]

Great Advice!! I actually workout this way.

[@ArthurMorgan6645]

Actually you said it very perfectly

[@johnsmith-fk7fw]

when he locks his legs on the squat machine and they wobble 💀💀💀💀💀

[@DAnoChannel]

Max! Looks like you are holding breath on some of these multi rep workouts. Gotta exhale into the tension or you will injure yourself. Breath hold is for 1 rep max workouts. Looks like you are killen it, keep it up!

[@spongebobswag9863]

The last rep on the hack squat took your soul from you 😂

[@cheatbluevii9123]

You need to push your limit to become stronger. When I was training, I was pushing my limit and after those sessions, I was tired. I did the training consistently and I improved; I can run faster and longer than before. When you work out, you should push your limit

[@akashshrestha2382]

Make a video on lat focused seated rows and upper body focused seated rows

[@ChillyBlitzHD]

thanks max ive been doing 6-8 reps with my arm movements, ill definitely try for 8-12 tomorrow

[@ChillyBlitzHD]

it absolutely slaps holy shit

[@TheSaulazer2]

For me it just depends on the workout I’m doing and focusing on. On muscles that i have a great mind muscle connection with i do 3 sets of 10 but with weight that i know even on the first set after 5 reps it’s gonna start burning. But on muscles i don’t have such a great mind muscle connection with i so low weight and just pump out reps and really focus on that mind muscle connection and I’ve seen amazing results and it really helps getting that connection. My suggestion to people is, just do what works for you bro, everyone is different. In the end we are all gaining💪🏼

[@carlosarreolajr2863]

I enjoy the video very informational

[@neontl8519]

I used to think metabolic stress was the main driver for hypertrophy too. But actually stated by Paul Carter it has no direct link with hypertrophy and mechanical tension is the main driver.

[@zfitness2005]

Usually what I do is 5 sets: The first 2 are 8-10 The second 2 are 6-8 And the last one is a drop set with heavy to failure, and then decrease weight to failure. Depending on the exercise sometimes I do 2 drop sets and one 6-8 instead

[@m3rl707]

Then how many exercises for the muscle group?

[@slydunk9986]

I typically do 6-8 reps on my compound movements and 8-12 on my accessory, sometimes 10-15 depending on the excersize

[@GymandGolf]

Starting set is a warmup Then I do a fair working set on moderate weight Then a heavy working set training near to failure (1-2 reps away) Then last set is a little heavier or lighter training straight to failure, then pushing a drop set

[@glennm8337]

Jesus 5 plates on hack squat is insane bro. Good shit.

[@lmannn]

6-10 reps for compound movements and 12-20 for isolation movements

[@kam3196]

I do low rep high set for compound movements, and for most machines and accessory lifts i do high reps and to failure.
