Literally nothing.
Your muscles can't count.
Just keep going till you go to failure and then keep going even if it's partials. The last full rep should have an extremely slow eccentric.
That's what I want to know. What study is that from? Because I've been hearing a lot of rep ranges are effective for hypertrophy at least, like 6 to 35 or more.
there is no difference. all that matters is tension. if you do 12 reps, slow and controlled, under full tension, you will significantly feel the muscle activation more than if you did 13 reps hard and fast.
muscle tension is higher if you produce more force, e.g. by moving the same weight faster. so 13 fast reps produce more and higher tension peaks than 12 slow reps.
It doesn't really matter, as long as you're doing less than 6 and more than 7.
anyone have that screenshot of the guy who never lifts 7? He thinks all gains are lost if you only do 7 because of some study that didn't factor in 7
Nah man. 7 reps is for toning.
You'll get toned as shit but you won't make any gains.
I had that saved but now I can't find it. Apparently 7-8 are the dead zone and 9 is the holy number of lifting.
I have no source to cite, so the graph might be bullshit. Is it even from a real study?
I used to have that graph ;(
I would never vote for a man who misuses hyphens

12 reps no good sir. My sister was reped by 12 men in Mumbai. Do the needful do not do rep sir. Thankyou
I found it.
This looks fake.
WTF is a relative muscle gain index? Gains in terms of size, strength, homosexuality?

>yeah I do 7 reps per set
ya but it's funny

Having more weight on the bar makes 12 reps better than 13. Other than that, if you could do 13 and stop at 12, you're a b***h.
