high reps are good, but not every day. Mix it up, one week concentrate on stregth, one week concentrate on mass reps.

explain to me what is your so called "MASS REPS"

**BiggNStronger** · 07-05-2006, 06:40 PM

and please explain to me what "stregth" is?

**assassin** · 07-05-2006, 06:42 PM

he means 8-12 reps (mass reps)

**assassin** · 07-05-2006, 06:44 PM

ok strength = 1-6 reps

hypertrophy or mass or size whatever u call it will be 6-12 reps

**BiggNStronger** · 07-05-2006, 06:47 PM

not everyone is the same..for some ppl it could be
1-6reps hypertrophy&strength
6-12reps hypertrophy&strength

some people respond more to strength in the 8-10reps and some people respond good for hypertrophy in the 1-6reps. so what i am getting at is NOT EVERYONE IS THE SAME

**assassin** · 07-05-2006, 07:11 PM

lol noob

i agree to that but mainly 1-5 is not for hypertrophy at all

In a sense, everyone is the same. There is no one on the planet who respond better neurally by using 80% intensity as opposed to 100% intensity. That doesn't make sense. That isn't how your nervous system works.

Conversely, I'm willing to bet there is no one on the planet who can do singles all the time and pack on mass to the same degree as he would using a higher volume approach. You simply can't accrue enough total mechanical work by doing singles to cause a significant increase in muscle size beyond your noob gains which result from anything; of course, you shouldn't be doing singles then anyway.

Now, I know where you were going with this, but I think you just went overboard with it a little bit.

You are exaggerating a bit, 1-5 is said to be best for strength while 6-12 is best for hypertrophy, you may gain some size while in a lower rep range but who knows, you probably would have gained more in the higher rep range.
even when I train for size I stay in the lowest part of the rep range (6-8), because my other goal is strength.

**BiggNStronger** · 07-06-2006, 09:27 PM

train for strength and eat for size

Most strength training involves working in the hypertrophy and even endurance territory a little bit as you can't constantly train at such high intensities.

what i meant by "train for strength and eat for size" was you prolly wont gain size only eating 500-1000cals lol so you train to get stronger and eating like crazy will make you bigger ..but anyway you get the point.
