Repetitions!!


When Training, it is important to keep your goals in mind, because the amount of repetitions performed directly correlate to the results you will receive!

1-2 Reps              Power              Explosive Lifts (Max Out Efforts & Olympic Lifts)
3-5 Reps             Strength           Focus on Core Lifts (Bench/Squat/Dead Lift)
8-12 Reps           Hypertrophy     Muscle Growth - Any Lift you want to Target
15 + Reps           Endurance       Any Muscle Grouping you want to last for the "Long Haul"

When Performing Exercises in this range of Repetitions always:
                       - Make sure the last repetition of your set is next to impossible.
                       - Push yourself....... wasting reps in the gym is wasting time!

Stay Training My Friends!
