REP RANGES are a THING!!!
MORE MISGUIDED BS from the Online Brigade
I’m seeing a lot of Content at the moment with regards to Rep Range and the “Optimum” REP RANGE to use for MUSCLE GROWTH.
AND guess what?
They’re all just throwing random numbers out there for people to chew on.
6-8 Reps seem to be the MOST FASHIONABLE at the moment - (which is fine depending on who they are targeting) but they HAVEN’T a Clue or a Clue about an Individual's Goals!
I’ve heard Influencers throwing out some CRAZY REP RANGES…
Errrr.. as long as you do between 6 and 30 Reps you’ll be fine
OK so which is it?
BUT GUESS WHAT? They then suddenly have loads of hits on their feed asking “Well how many Reps should I do then?
VERY CLEVER and I guess that's THE NAME OF THE GAME.
Here’s how I see it and I have used this approach with Clients for nearly 20 years, it was how I was taught AND it WORKS!
What I’m about to tell you is going to open up a WHOLE CAN of WORMS!
This is largely due to the fact that my way goes completely against all the Clickbait that people have been influenced by - (BUT just to point out, there are over 28,000 Certified Pro Trainers around the world that DO use this approach).
It’s called the WABBA Workload and it takes ALL the Guess Work out of Training.
With the WABBA Workload you need to simply know….
1. Your Training Goal (first contentious point for the WANNABE ONLINE INFLUENCER)
2. Your 1RPM - (another contentious point for the ONLINE BRIGADE).
Once you know these you can work to the EXACT Sets/Reps Range and CORRECT Working Weight too which will allow you to work optimally and reach close to failure each time!
NO GUESS WORK!
And that is it!
Obviously you can add in Advanced Techniques like Super Sets, Tri-sets, Giant Sets, Drop Sets, Sets to Failure, Negatives, Myo Sets etc where appropriate.
AND don’t listen to the BS online where the Attitude to Volume is very negative.
VOLUME has its place in a MACRO (Yearly) Training Cycle as much as INTENSITY does.
Give this approach a go, making sure you do a 1RPM% test with a QUALIFIED/CERTIFIED TRAINER and witness those positive results over 6-12 weeks.
If you would like the WABBA Workload for your specific Goals which takes out all the guess work and uses a Scientific Approach to Training then get in touch......
