Choosing Rep Ranges
When making our programs, or training plans, one of the many things that go into the planning is what rep ranges we want to work within. But, again, this is typically based on what your goals are.
Do you want to gain strength and power? Maybe you are more worried about your conditioning. Maybe, just perhaps, you would enjoy doing some bodybuilding or power building (a mix of powerlifting and bodybuilding). Whatever the goals are, you will have to choose a rep range or a set time limit to do as many reps as possible.
The following information is a guideline, not the end all be all for any specific style. The best thing to do will be to experiment with it all and see what best works for you concerning your goals and the overall outcome
Typically for end strength and power, the rep ranges will be much smaller with heavier weights (heavy being relative to the lifter). This range would be within 1-5 max.
For bodybuilding or muscular enhancement, the rep ranges would be more within the 8-15 range, typically done with medium to just less than heavyweight.
You would be in the 15-100 rep range for conditioning or anaerobic work. This range would have you doing light to ultra-light work mostly to get a lot of blood flow and help with tendon and ligament strengthening work.
We can help take this part out of the mix by creating a custom program that fits your goals. Contact us for more information!
