Thread: Rep ranges for size

6-12

Well yea but like whats the best number of reps that fits u for best results?

it all depends, if my goal was size and strength ill stay with 6-8, if it was just size, i would do 10-12

alright i think 9s the number im looking for.

8-12 chest
6-12 back
10-16 legs
10-16delts
12-20 bi/tri/calves

the whole reason i posted this thread was to find out how many reps i should do for military pressing for best results in muscle size. I guess 10-16 is it by Invanry. Well 10, yea.

thanks every1

I preach going to failure every set...but most people on this forum disagree...or don't have the guts for it.

Iron Man is back.

For the poster I saw 1-15 reps. Remember strength will build size and there are times where sets of 1 rep max helps obtain the above.

U know that is very much so what i would say
But i do favor 8 range for muscle cept on legs which id put at strictly 10 and of course like u had 12-20 is best for calves imo Oh and 6-8 for my chest

I agree with Foreman and others who say variation is important.

Id say 20-24 reps !

Lots and lots of food.

I concur.

Strength was all I really cared about when I lifted from 15 years old until 2 years ago. It was when I started reading that I finally got educated on this shit.

By then though, I was pretty fucking built with jerkoffs never believing that I wasnt juicing. Even juicers. I have never been greatly cut though.

I am trying to find that middle ground that pretty much everyone wants on here.

lift for strength, eat for size

Are you getting big on this? i was also told not to do this, but when I do do it, I leave the gym bigger and more stiff.

I dont understand the reason behind it, it kinda goes against common sense of "the harder you work, the better the results" maybe someone can educate me on this topic.? cowpimp, gorpo?

everyone is different...test your own methods.

I go past failure quite often with partial reps/forced reps too. it works best for me.
