Rep Ranges and Science

[malfeasance]

This is well worth watching in full and listening to the details without jumping to conclusions one way or the other. Brad Schoenfeld has a lot to say about actual studies and how even his own studies have been misinterpreted. There is a lot to learn here if you aren't too busy arguing with the screen while he is talking.

I think all rep ranges work to a point. And the range a person prefers probably will work the best for them as they will apply themselves better to that range.

That's kind of what the video said, but there is much more to it than that.

Yeah a lot of the old school bro-science hasn't really been debunked.

Some guys switched to low rep high intensity later in their careers (Mentzer, Yates, etc.), but they all gained most of their size with higher volume training.

Bodybuilding rep zone 10+ per set. Get close to failure/burn/pump. Schoenfeld is doing great work because despite being scrawny, he's a bro at heart. But actual doing sciencey stuff.

I've grown to love higher reps (to failure )as I get older. That and long-length partials have brought me to the next level.
