So what is the correct rep range for you to stay in to gain the most effective and optimal muscle building results? Now I’m sure most of you have heard that working with lower reps and heavier weight builds bulk while utilizing higher reps with lighter weight will result in getting you ripped. Well I can tell you that only half of this is the truth. The other fictional half I will leave for later and you will learn as you continue to read on what the truth of the other half really comes down to in another article.

So which is true? If you sided with the lower reps and heavier weight, then you are 100% correct. But you must follow the specific rep range formula, not just any lower reps and heavy weight is going to do the trick. So what you need to do is utilize heavy weight with lower reps performing them between a 5-7 rep range. This is without a doubt the most effective means for stimulating muscle growth. So utilizing a rep range between 5-7 means that for every set that is performed, you need to have weight that’s heavy enough where you cannot possibly pass over 7 repetitions, but light enough to get to full 5 repetitions while keeping absolute perfect form while performing each set to absolute failure each and every time. You need to always keep a focused mind and perform each set to a 110% effort and intensity!
