Low Reps vs High Reps for Muscle Growth

“How many reps should you do to build muscle” or whether you should train with “high reps vs low reps to build muscle” is a common question I get asked. And rightfully so, because using the right rep ranges within your workout is an extremely important factor for muscle growth, yet is an area of confusion for many lifters. In fact, most of us simply follow what’s known as the “strength-endurance continuum” which is the belief that: training with low reps, for example a powerlifting type routine, is the best for increasing strength but not the best for adding size. Training with high reps on the other hand is best for muscular endurance and again not the best for size. And as a result, there exists a hypertrophy rep range of roughly 6-12 reps, which is often proposed as the best rep range to build muscle.

But the truth is, recent emerging research has indicated that this hypertrophy rep range is actually much bigger than most people realize. In fact, given that 1) volume is equated for, 2) you’re training close to failure, and 3) you’re using a weight that is at least 30% of your 1RM, then muscle growth and size gains will be similar regardless of what rep range you choose to use – therefore disproving the concept of this hypertrophy rep range altogether. However, when you take a step back and start to think about it more practically rather than scientifically, the hypertrophy rep range actually starts to make more sense.

Although lower reps enable you to lift heavier weight, you will need to do more sets in order to match the volume you’d be able to achieve by using higher reps. This in turn can cause a lot of joint aches/pains and burnout if this makes up most of your routine. And the problem with higher reps is that it’s very metabolically taxing and presents risk of injury when doing so with compound movements. However, this doesn’t mean that lower reps and higher reps should be altogether. Lower reps are more beneficial for strength gains and higher reps are great for helping you push through metabolic fatigue.

Thus, you want to stick to 60-70% of your sets performed in the 6-12 rep range (moderate rep range with moderate weight), 15-20% of your sets performed in the 2-6 rep range (lower reps with heavy weight), and 15-20% of your sets performed in the 12-15+ rep range (higher reps with lighter weight). Doing so will enable you to reap the benefits from all rep ranges.

Keep in mind that rep ranges are just one of many factors that you need to optimize in order to see the best results in the gym. And if you’re looking for a step-by-step evidence-based program that shows you how to do so and how to maximize your efforts in the gym, then simply take my analysis tool below to find which program is best for you:

3 Minute STRONG CORE – Seated Ab Strength Routine for All Levels

*This SEATED Core Routine COULD be the most effective (and fastest) core workout you’ll ever do. And the best part about is that it’s for everyone!*

FREE 5 Minute Core Workout:
https://www.criticalbench.com/coreworkout

===

When most people go to execute their “core strength workouts”, they tend to focus on nothing more than the all too common movements of simple crunches and leg raises. While many exercises do have their place in a complete core routine, the truth is that your core actually extends way beyond these surface level muscles.

If you really want to improve core strength as effectively as possible, some of the best exercises you can include in your program are seated movements. These exercises are some of the very best core strengthening exercises out there since it trains your core muscles based on their true function, which is to act as a stabilizing center while protecting the spine.

In this video, core and bodyweight training expert Meredith Shirk of Svelte Training takes you through a 3 minute seated core routine that is suitable for all levels.

For the past decade, Meredith has been passionate about achieving peak performance. Her keen self-awareness and innate understanding of human interactions has helped her clients gain confidence in their professional, personal and athletic careers.
On the business front, Meredith has consulted for major fitness brands and is currently developing a line of health food products.

For this amazing routine, it’s important to have proper technique and form is very simple. Just listen to her verbal cues while paying attention to her demonstration. These are simple but can be performed incorrectly if not careful.

Do these 6 movements for :30 seconds at a time and then repeat it for an additional 1 or 2 more sets. These 6 movements are adequate enough to really see great improvements in your core.

1. Side to Side Reach
2. Seated Jacks
3. Climbers
4. Toe Touches
5. Knee Ups
6. Front reach

Thanks for watching and make sure you check out Meredith’s training pages on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. Here are her links:

How to Get a Strong Low Back | DO THIS EVERY DAY!

If you have back pain, particularly if you spend a large portion of the day sitting, then you will want to watch this video. I’m going to show you something you can do every day to get a strong low back and start getting rid of the pain that can keep you from your workouts at the least and be disabling at its worst.

Your game plan for getting a stronger lower back starts with the most important exercise of all, the deadlift. This compound push/pull exercise forms the foundation of any good lifting program. It is perhaps the most functional exercise outside of the squat and is one that you need to master if you want to build a strong and powerful physique.

The issue with the deadlift is that, if done properly, it lacks the concentric shortening cycle for the lumbar paraspinals (the muscles most often weak when low back pain is present) having instead a heavy reliance on isometric strength of these muscles. The deadlift is not a back extension movement but rather a hip driving or hip extension and glute firing movement. The lower back is instead held in a slight arch with an isometric contraction of the lumbar spinal muscles and maintained throughout the bar’s ride to the top.

If you do this exercise incorrectly you will be using far too much low back, which is not equipped to hold the amount of weight that is usually used on a deadlift. You need the support of the legs and the incredibly strong muscles of the hips and glutes to drive this movement. That said, there is a small percentage of concentric shortening of the low back muscles that occurs at the top of the lift (not over extension mind you, just at the top as you reach vertical). This accounts for a small percentage of the weight lifted. Because of this, you would have to be deadlifting in the neighborhood of around 500 pounds in order to get an appreciable effect on the concentric overload of the low back.

Even then however, the deadlift is not something that you would normally perform on a daily basis, meaning that you would need some other options of things to do on non deadlifting days to keep your lower back getting incredibly strong. This is where the kettlebell swing comes in. This exercise is also a hip hinge movement that is performed with much lighter weight than the deadlift. The benefit is however that it is a conditioning exercise that could fit in perfectly on your non weight training days and can be done for longer time to give you an endurance benefit and the volume needed to train the area properly.

That is not enough either though. This is where you want a staple strength training exercise that can be performed on push days or even leg days that can give you even more overload. This is where the weighted hyperextension comes in most effectively. This is the best exercise for taking the lumbar paraspinals from an elongated position to a shortened position to fully train them through their full range of motion. The big key here is not to do the hyper part of hyperextension. It isn’t necessary. You simply want to contract until your spine is in a neutral position, hold for a contraction and then return.

Finally, even on non-training days you can and should work on some corrective exercises for your deficiencies. If you have a weak low back, you should explore the use of a couple sets of either high hip bucks or bodyweight supermans just to engage and awaken the muscles of the low back with low intensity but additional volume. Over the course of time, the use of all of these strategies gives you a daily attack plan that will create an incredibly strong low back and help you to get over most if not all of the back pain you may be having from having let your back get this weak in the first place.
