But today, I want to talk about it in more detail, especially when it comes to deciding the best rep range to build muscle. Just keep this simple statement in mind: A workout design that is effective for one muscle group may not be as effective for another muscle group. In other words, sure you may have had great results building bigger arms using a typical hypertrophy muscle building approach to: - Rep counts - Set counts - Tempo But this doesn’t mean that same rep, set, and tempo design will also work for building bigger legs, or any other muscle group. Different muscle group = Different muscle fibers = Different training stimulus required Based on the muscle fiber type, this means a different training stimulus may be required to make optimal gains. Think of it this way. It takes more than just training hard to accomplish your goals. You also have to train smart. Let's first look in more detail on the muscle fiber types in your body.
