Thread: # Of Reps

Depends on your goals, training age, etc...but a good starting number is 8-12 reps usually.

What do you think would be the ideal amount of reps for one just wanting to maintain / slightly build their muscles? (Not going for strength at all) Between 8-10? Or 10-12? Would anybody here reccommed pyramiding the weight? Or not.

Why would anyone just try to maintain?


ANy rep range would be fine...anywhere between prolly 6-15 just dont push yourself hard or to failure.And you wont gain. Just dont eat much and you wont gain! LOL J/K

Seriously why dont you wanna gain?

if someone ask me whose body u want...i would rather say frank zane or Arnold, never Ronnie or Dorian.

it is good to maintain a body once u r satisfied with urself

Sorry but show me one person who has ever been satisfied with there body?
Noone is ever satisfied ,thats why we got in this game in the first place.
Everyone has weaknesses no matter who you are.

hey my age is 15. i m training for 3 months. and my goal is to gain as much mass as possible. 50% people say that i m ecto and 50% say that i m meso. I wonder what type of body i ve therefore i am bit confused about my training. currently eg "I bench press four sets including a warm up pyramiding the weight.

that is fine.
I heard Dorian trained with same weights and same reps a few weeks before the contest to maintain body and define himself.
I haven't tried it though.

ok
thx moon
but what about my bodytype.
50% say i m ecto and 50% say i m meso

no one can answer that but you...

ok
but how can i ans myself

Moon and Ahsan talking to each other makes me laugh irl. I feel like i need a google translation of this page.

we r not talking to each other but i was just confirming to all of u that whether i m ecto or meso.

hmm... your not talking to each other? you some little psycic man ain't you

i ain't seen 1 person say your meso on here.... from the info you have given us you are a extreme ecto (6ft4 and 90 pounds is not a mesomorph)
