Reps and Sets
- Doing a set that takes 2-3 minutes might not be very effective for most people.
- It's recommended to follow a proven program by professionals for better results.
- For beginners, tracking sets and reps may not be necessary initially but can be helpful for progress.
- Different rep ranges have varying effects on strength, muscle growth, and stamina.
- Lower reps (1-5) with higher weight are good for strength and muscle growth but require more recovery.
- Moderate reps (6-14) work well for muscle growth with less recovery demand.
- Higher reps (14-20+) can work for muscle growth and stamina, especially for isolation exercises.
- Consistency and progressing over time are important for muscle growth.
- Progressive overload, working close to failure, and tracking reps are key for growth.
