Will low weight, high reps until fail build muscle?

I have injuries so I can't do high weight upper body exercises.

Not really.

I'm dealing with this right now. I accepted that I'm wasting away, it was depressing to look at my slim legs in the miror. decided to do cardio at home a little while ago, consisting of loads of body squats and lunges. Three weeks later and my jeans were tight, such a good feeling! Didn't think it was possible with high reps.

Maybe it only works for lower body, maybe I've just got good genetics. Can't give a solid answer.

All consistent exercise will work, but results are reduced because you'll increase load very, very slowly.

But so long as you increase the weight at least a little you'll keep improving. Just don't expect it to be as fast as rotating high reps / high load.

it's basically cardio.

Doing 100+ reps on my forearms with 3kg weights (I'll buy some 5kg soon)

As long as my muscles are burning from the work out, surely it'll work well?
>>
>>40812685
It will work for a couple months. Roids makes this type of routine work really well..
>>
It will build more muscle than not doing anything, so go ahead and do it.
>>
most any rep ranges can induce hypertrophy. any movement is better than none at all

Is this copy pasta?
>>
>>40812685
only works on roids

>it'll work
Yes

>well
No

But you ain't got a choice, so you do what you do and that's the end of it.
>>
>>40812685
Yes. There is at least one study testing a group that did 30% of their 1rm to failure one group with 80% of their 1rm to failure. There are slightly better results in strength with 80%, but very high reps do the same thing, as long as you increase the volume accordingly. How much do you need to increase the volume? I dunno lol. But to get the same results with lower intensity you need to do more overall volume.

Holy crap i remember these. Loved them.

>>40812685
no, it will make you leaner

Become a cardio fag. There is no shame in it. It will get you exercise and some kind of purpose.

If by "high reps" you mean like 10-12, then sure.

You're going to start seeing diminishing returns past that.
