Rep Range Week

gdossena · 02-18-2008, 05:55 AM

hello everyone,

would someone please explain to me how rep range week exactly works and give me an example for a group muscle?

example for back:

lat pulldown 3x8
row 3x10
pulley 3x12

OR

lat pulldown 1x8, 1x10, 1x12
row 1x10, 1x12, 1x15
pulley 1x12, 1x15, 1x18

i'm confused, do you change the rep # for each set, or for each exercise? also, do you start high and go down, or viceversa?

here's my $.02:

example for back:

lat pulldown 3x8
row 3x10
pulley 3x12

this scheme should work fine, I would say anywhere between 8 - 12 reps each is fine. If you can get 15 - 18 reps, the weight is too light.

The way i do rep range is

3x8-10
3x10-12
3x14-16(the last 2-4 reps should be an all out war to get. if you get them easy then weight is too lite)
