>Heavy weight with low reps vs. low weight high reps. Go

>>39377462
Low weights and low reps

I have honestly gotten way better looking aesthetically doing this

To balance out volume I just do a lot of different exercises

>>39377462
Heavy weight for high reps
Sets of 8-12

Those two choice make it seem like you want to just stay small

>>39377462
Both.

Dont listen to this guy, honestly thats a good workout plan if you want to hurt yourself or overtrain

>>39377462
Weight reps, low heavy.

>overtrain

You sound like a cuck that doesnt eat or sleep to grow.

>>39377462
Jesus, is it newfags or shitposting? Or some unholy combination?

First off, depends on your goals. Do you wanna get better at lifting heavy shit? Lift heavy shit. Wanna get better at lifting moderately heavy shit for longer? Lift moderately heavy shit for longer.


As for muscle growth, it doesn't matter.

Muscle growth is stimulated by how close you get to reaching failure. So if benching, say, 1000kg for 12 reps wears me out more than I wore out OP's mum last night, that's going to stimulate my muscle the same as lifting a higher weight for lower reps.


>It's how much you work your muscles and how fatigued they get
Your muscles really don't give a flying fuck about whether it's heavy for less reps, or slightly lighter for several more.

That being said, the amount of sets you do definitely matters. 4 sets is generally better than 3, but hard with high weights, so often you see people doing slightly lower weights with higher reps, and 4 sets. Works fine.

Also, higher reps with lower weight is slightly better on joints, but lower reps and higher weight is better if you're going for powerlifting.

In other words, go out and fucking lift, and you'll probably grow.

Kek. Basically this. Lift heavy shit for as many reps and sets as possible.

If you're lifting the heaviest you can lift for a certain rep range, that's not "overtraining", that's called "weightlifting". It's kinda a big deal on this board. The anon you're replying to is probably trying to tell people not to lift a bitch ass weight and justify it as "high reps, brah!"

Which is good advice.

When i said heavy weights for high reps im talking about working rep ranges. for example sets of 8-12 if you can lift something 12 times you're lifting too light.

It doesn't really matter, though. If you're lifting a weight that you'd fail on the 13th rep, and you're progressively increasing the weight, then you'll make plenty of gains.
