HIGHER REPS and Cardio QUESTION!

[xavier2484]

I usually stick to around 8-10 reps and 3-4 sets ive seen some ppl stay at around 15 reps? what is bennifit of doing higher reps? oppossed to lower ones?

also ive heard that running burns not only fat but muscle? is this true.. ive been trying to cut down on my BF and keep as ,much muscle as possible. should i stick to running or say the eliptical on a low setting for a longer peroid of time?

Running will not burn muscle unless you are not eating enough.....and yes running 10 miles a day is not good if you are trying to get big.

Reps can be from 5-15 for growth IMO, best to mix it up from time to time.....just doing 5 or 6 reps all the time is not the best way to train. I have grown on 15 rep sets as well as 6 rep sets.
