[Tips]
Record your weights - how heavy your lifting, and how many reps you've finished on each set
[Extra knowledge]
- Power: 1-5 reps with a focus on maximal force and speed. Often uses 80-90%+ of 1RM (One Repetition Maximum).
- Max Strength: 1-6 reps with heavy loads (typically 85-100% of 1RM. or RPE 8-10).
- Hypertrophy (Muscle Growth): 6-12 (or sometimes 8-15) reps with moderate loads (60-85% of 1RM or RPE 8-10).
Hypertrophy can occur across a broader range of 5-30 reps, especially when training close to failure. Also, time under tension and progressive overload training is important.
- Muscle Endurance: 12-20+ reps with lighter loads (usually below 60% of 1RM)
