Every Rep Counts ; Talking About Rep Counts

You probably heard before "one more rep" is the mind set of bodybuilders.
But is it always best to do "one more" or instead of doing "one more" increasing the weight ?
This depends on your goals . I found a great repetition scheme for people who has a goal but dont know how to achive it .

As you can see you have the chart . All you need to find suitable weights for you and do the targeted reps .

An example : You want to use 35 pound dumbbell at 8 rep . Next week do it with 9 rep . Other week 10 rep .
When you reach highest targeted rep get 40 pounds dumbbells and do 8 rep . And continue ... you get the idea .


-Have a great day.

    I always do one more. Was always told its the last couple that do more than all the rest combined.

    I'll try to avoid that death zone. Silly might be kind of fun though...I can feel good about doing a ton of low weight reps! (so long as nobody is watching) ;P

    I know people who go to the gym 2-3 times a day. I'm not even sure if that's being healthy anymore

    I'd never do MAX reps, it'll damage your nervous system in the long run.

    I know people that go everyday and workout the same muscles without ever switching workouts. they never give them a break and work on something else
