Hey Everyone!

Do you think you know how many reps you should do when you’re working out? If not than you’re not alone. Over 90% of people who workout are training in the incorrect range for their goals. Are you trying to Trim down? Loose weight? Gain muscle? Maintain?

Soon I will provide a simple guide to learning how many reps you should be doing based on your goal, but first it’s important to note that the human body has 3 different types of muscle fibers, all responsible for different goals. White fast-twitch are for size and power and fatigue very quickly. Red fast-twitch are for stamina and strength and are most used for incremental activities such as boxing. Red slow-twitch are for muscular endurance and can last very long times before reaching fatigue.

Alright with the above knowledge here’s a guide to how many reps you should be doing:

Size and Power Goal = 4-6 repetitions
Strength and Stamina Goal = 12-15 repetitions
Muscular Endurance Goal = 20-25 repetitions
