Comment Comment by radicalbyte The type of training you're doing affects the results. The how IS important.Do you want to get big? Then train heavy enough that you can do 10-15 reps with good form.Do you want explosive strength for sports? Then look for around 15-20 reps but do the pushing part explosively.Do you want to get strong? Lift heavy. Do 5 sets of a weight you can lift for 5-8 reps.Going for endurance? Then you're looking for weights that take you to 30-50 reps.Adjust the weights if you're not in your rep range, and don't cheat. Rest longer between sets if they start dropping off. parent radicalbyte 7 years ago
