heavier weight builds character but anything in the 5-30 rep range will have good effects
i keep compounds in the 4-8 range (aside from the occasional heavy single) and everything else in the 10-15 range
This is one of those things that's been in exercise books for 50 years but it's still true. 8-12 reps are the most specific reps you can do if you're trying to grow.
Is it better to lift lighter weight more times or heavier weight less times?
Torn on this. I’d say do both. But even frauding I do 5-8 with as good a form as possible and that’s gotten me better results than 12-15. I’ve gotten up to 80 on incline curl with good form and my biceps are the biggest they’ve ever been by a significant margin. I got to 20 reps+ with 52s doing the same exercise and it was a fucking nightmare and decently effective but I’ve still had better results doing 5 of 80. I do multiple variations though. I think people who just do low reps of a few exercises usually don’t look good.
You should do both and also note that if you get from 15 reps to 20 reps you have gotten stronger as well as getting from 4 reps to 8 reps with a different weight. This is probably a factor in many programs but I internalized it from 5/3/1.
It depends on your goal gay.
For strength and force: speed (less weights).
For hypertrophy: lift to failure (doesn't matter if heavy or light, but you reach failure with heavy faster, thus shorten the time needed for workouts).
i go for strength with compounds and hypertrophy with isolations. i think i get good results when i'm consistent, but it's obviously not as good as if i picked one or the other
failure between 6-26 is ideal.
high weight low rep for big muscle groups. using muscle is an athletic skill that you learn when trying to lift impossible weights and such. You learn to "explode". as in the wise words "I am full range, a t o m i c"
higher weight more times
Word of a man
They hated Jesus, for he spake unto them the truth.
Just do both, who cares? You gays will do anything you can to not go in the gym and train hard.
thats what I do dickhead. ALternating reps of many weights few time or little weights many times.
Am I doing it right? Is there a better way? HELP ME I DONT WANT TO END UP LIKE YOU.
one of each to failure
you'll never be a woman
medium weight for longer time
*fewer
First applies to isolation exercises, second applies to compounds. Not everything is black or white, you know retard?
But you are black and I am white.
I am not black

Want strong? Lift heavy, few.
Want big? Lift light, lot.
Better for what, idiot? You lift accordingly depending on your objectives
8 reps is the sweet spot for adding muscle
less reps for strength, more reps for endurance
adjust weight accordingly

Heavy weights a few times and then once the muscles are torn up then light weight many times.
>better
What are your goals?
Ultimately, it is safer as a human to lift lighter weights more times. This training will lead to less risk and easier maintenance.
Lighter weight more times

As long as you reach hypertrophy, it doesn't matter. But doing lots of reps with light weight obviously takes more time than doing 8-12 reps
I've never met a weak man who looked good.

its easier to get more volume in with light for more reps. i.e. 80kg for 5 is 400 total, whereas 50kg for 10 is 500, 12 is 600, 14 is 700, et cetera
Muscle fatigue can't read the number on your barbell or count your reps. Just work hard and stay consistent

as heavy as you can for 8-12 reps x 3.
