What is your goal?

15 reps is nice for hypertrophy. But you might want to do a couple more sets to max this out.

15 reps is pretty bad for strength. You can and will get strength improvements, but they will be far from optimal.

So should you low-rep until you get to the max weight you want to lift, and then just start repping it to get bigger?

8-12 reps is adviced for hypertrophy zone because on avg. it takes about 40 seconds to do. Time under tension dictates your rep range. So time your set if it's around 40 seconsd it's okay

This is easily the stupidest and wrongest thing iver ever seen posted here. Thats 4 fucking whole seconds per rep. Are you fucking retarded???

40 seconds a set?

it should be 60 seconds of ToT per body part per workout

15 is on the higher side. Scientific Research and pros (Eric Helms, lyle McDonald, Alan aragon etc) suggest 4-5 sets of 3-12 reps are optimal for natural lifters. What Set /rep range you choose depends on bodypart and goal. Deadlifts should be done heavy for Example, while you want more reps on your Arms.
Look at you strength Levels. Need more strength? More sets lower reps is usually the best then.
If you hit intermediate Levels then switch it up a bit.

Also for ToT. 2-4sec negative, around 1 sec positive movement is the Standard.
However I would switch things up. Sometimes slower for more tension and sometimes faster for more explosive power.

Jesus fucking christ hoew new are you? Did you literally just come here from BB.com
>3-12 reps
Is this a fucking joke? That range is huge. No shit 3-12 is optimal there barely anything left.

This is insanely memey. Dont ever post ehre again dude.

meat heads don't count above 10.

Yet OP was doing 15 you wanker

I aim for strength.
I warm up from really light to training weight. 10, 6, 2, 1.

then do RPT. heaviest, 5 rep. 2 to 3 min rest.
lower 10% weight, 7 rep.
lower 10% weight, 9 rep. (i generally don't do the third set when going for heavy weight.)

>>40916999
Oh yeah well I do 4 sets of 15 reps
