Don’t be afraid to dedicate several weeks/ months improving & perfecting your fundamental movement patterns. ⁣ ⁣ 👉🏽 Truth is, there is no such thing as a PERFECT rep range, all rep ranges have their value in programming, with hypertrophy proven to occur in a broad rep range (3-30 reps). However, the “sweet spot” being within the 6-12 rep range. ⁣(s/o to @jps_education ) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣ 👉🏽The most important thing in my opinion, is that with ANY rep range is that you pick the correct load & make sure you are actually exerting yourself with intention. Do not pick a rep range based on the fact that someone told you to do 10 reps of it. Pick an appropriate weight FIRST that is suited towards 10 reps. ⁣ ⁣ 👉🏽 There’s no point picking a weight that’s too light and doing 8-10 reps with it if ideally you could be doing 20-30 reps with it if you really tried. ⁣🤷‍♀️ ⁣ 👉🏽It’s best to look at the bigger picture of program design & not get caught up in the nitty gritty details. Look at your week as a whole. Are you hitting each muscle group at least two times a week? What’s your frequency like? What kind of split are you following? Are you performing exercises with good form? Are you training each set a few reps shy of failure and actually pushing yourself? ⁣ ⁣ Happy lifting xxx Wearing the new BOTANICS range from @ryderwear !!
