[quote][i]Originally posted by Carl[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by johnhara1[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Carl[/i] 10 reps is too much if your aim is to get stronger or put on muscle. I do 3x6 and as that gets easy i add a rep, once 3x8 can be accomplished i then move up a weight and go back to going 6. (this is after a couple of months back in training) That's what i've learnt anyway, people do things differently and have there own ways, but i've read plenty of literature in regards to this,(as in journals not issues of mens health!) and it seems to be the general consensus. [/quote] I disagree with 10reps being too much to increase strength or size becasue this is what i am currently doing but increasing the weight draumatically and doing reps of 6 is what ive always been told to do to bulk up. I always aim for 10reps before putting the weight up, ive been back at the gym 4 months and just broke through the 100kg barrier again for 10, and ive hit 6 reps straight after at 110kg. My strength and size are improving with the 10rep method :thumbs: hopew to have 110kg cracked by november. [Edited on 11-10-2007 by johnhara1] [/quote] 10 reps will still lead to gains but taking overload and progression into account, 6-8 method is said to be more efficient, so it could lead to quicker gains but still at a an optimum rate of grow that is not detrimental. Everyone is different though. Thats the general consensus that you will get from anyone who has scientifically researched in that area, ie not just heard it from some meat head in the gym who thinks he knows everything or been told it off a gym instructor. (not slating all gym instructors, just a large percentage that only seem to know the very basics.) [/quote]
