ISSUE 48: The best rep range for hypertrophy?

Welcome to the 48th issue of the ABS Audio Newsletter. Today we are going to discuss a pretty hot topic in the fitness space. Many get into the working out for body composition improvement. A large part of that figures to involve growing muscle. A frequent question I and many other coaches field involve what repetition range they ought to be training in to grow muscle the best. Do we have a specific answer? Well yes, sort of anyways.

Before we dive in lets give some contextual criteria to keep in mind

• There can be a difference between practical and theoretical “best practice”

• Higher and lower rep ranges have both associated benefits and tradeoffs

• The joint/joints used in the movement also play a role in rep range recommendations

• Some muscles may respond better to lower or higher reps on average

• Individuality can play a role

• Niche situations may make some rep ranges more or less favorable (Ex: Injuries)

The outline of our conversation:

1. General intro.

2. Overview

3. Low vs Higher rep ranges

4. Which range is best

5. My takeaways and motivational sendoff!
