3 sets of 5, 8, then 12 reps

>>35420749
I never do more than 2 or 3 reps on my squats and olympic lifts. 5 reps for heavy upper body compounds (weighted dips/pull ups, ohp, rows, bench), 10-12 reps for assistance and isolation, 12-15 reps for abs/lower back exercices

>>35420749
Avoid 8 reps, because if you mess up and can't finish a set it does nothing.

>>35420794
... what?

>>35420749
Did 6 reps for several months, literally lost gains
Remember, its always 5, 8, 12 or NO GAINS

>>35420900
5 reps is for strength, and 8 is for hypertrophy, so if you fuck up and only get 6 or 7 it does nothing. So always aim for around 5 or 9 just to be safe.

It's a meme you dip

So based on the amount of shitposting and bro-science, one of three things are true:

1. It doesn't matter.
2. No one knows.
3. Everyone does what their grandpappy told them to do.

More than one, it seems.

From what little has been studied on the matter, it seems like total sets seems to matter more than what rep range you do.

If I wanted memes I'd ask what your 1 rep max is

>>35420749
Whatever rep range gets you the most volume for the exercise.
