Everything you need to know about Reps
from LIFT Hosted by Harrison Thompson
In this episode of the Gym Basics series - Lift Podcast, Coach Harry dives deep into the topic of reps—debunking common myths, breaking down the science, and explaining the pros and cons of different rep ranges. Whether you're training for strength, muscle growth, or just trying to optimize your workouts, this episode provides a clear and actionable guide to understanding how reps influence progress. Key Takeaway: The ideal rep range for most people is 5–8 reps, as it promotes faster strength progression, builds muscle efficiently, and minimizes unnecessary fatigue. However, muscle growth can occur in any rep range as long as you're training close to failure. Prioritize form and technique to maximize gains and reduce the risk of injury.
