    Anyone know of this being done? (squats) I googled it and got nothing. I did 65kgx65 reps today and it got me thinking. Clearly that would be a SHITLOAD harder! I'd be thinking there would be big guys that could handle that tonnage but you definitely need some decent cardio/fitness in...

    20 rep sets

    I've read many times about the benefits of 20 rep squat sets, and I've started adding a set of 20 reppers at around 60% of my 1RM at the end of my squat session. Needless to say they are fucking hard and get a bit messy. Oh well, no pain no gain. Anyway, is it smart/sensible/advised/beneficial...

    Who's had good results with higher reps?

    I'm interested to hear stories from anyone who feels they've made good physique improvements on any particular body parts, using a higher rep range......say anywhere between 12-20 or beyond. I clearly recall Fadi saying once that he made the best gains on his back when he did higher reps for...

    Question about reps

    Hi guys, ive been enjoying reading others' training logs and am wondering why your reps are as example: 20 then 15 then 5 then 2 etc in an exercise such as bench I have been only going by sets of 6 or 8. My goal is to build size, is there an advantage to starting at a really high rep then...

    Heavier weights & less reps vs lighter weights & more reps

    Pull-ups: 3 sets to failure or add weight if completing more than 15 reps.

    Hey, taken from Mark Rippetoe's Practical Programming Novice Program, can someone please explain to me whether this means I should only add weight to pullups when i can do more than 15 in a single set or when I can do more than 15 across three sets (ie. 3x5). I tried googling and can't find the...

    Less weight more reps? or more weight less reps?

    So from my understanding, lifting less weights and more reps helps to tone but lifting more weight and a reasonable amount of reps helps to bulk up. Is this true? or only half true? Also, I have this annoying habit of clenching my teeth when lifting a really heavy weight and this kills my jaw...
