Rep schemes are a spicy topic.

Part 4 has arrived ✨

My most practical advice for the general public? Try getting to failure, or just shy of failure, in about 10-12 reps.

PRO's of the ⚖️Moderate Rep Range⚖️:

1️⃣ It's a balanced place to be, the 50-yard line of strength and endurance.

2️⃣ It requires using relatively heavier loads, but likely not so heavy as to make you feel intimidated, limited by grip strength, or otherwise.

3️⃣ It allows you to challenge the muscle enough to stimulate growth, without over-straining your joints and other tissues.

Depending on your specific health situation and life circumstances, you may opt for lower rep & heavier load, OR for higher rep & lighter load. The beauty is that anything can be helpful for maintaining muscle mass – so long as you hit that key effort point in < 30 repetitions per exercise.
