Not sure if serious or not. You'll get bigger and stronger regardless of reps.

If you do 8 instead of 5 with the same weight then you'll get BIGGER and STRONGER.

>>36581389
this diddnt happen

>>36581405
That's why I wrote "not sure if serious or not", as in "This might be bait, but I'll answer, just incase."

If your stopping at 5 instead of going to almost failure on your 5th rep you won't get stronger.

>lifting heavy weights
>fail after 6 reps
>literally lose muscle
Guess I'm never going to make it.

>>36581666
What I meant to say was that if you can do 8 reps you should be lifting heavier weight so that you can only do 5. Of course you'll get stronger by lifting any amount but if you're not going all out every set it will take a lot longer.

Holy fucking kek m8
