The Truth About Rep Ranges & Building Muscle | Low vs Moderate vs High
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 мар 2017
- We've all been told that if you want to build muscle (hypertrophy) you train with moderate reps, and if you want to build strength you use low reps, and that high reps are just for endurance.....BUT IS THIS REALLY TRUE??? Check out this episode of Advanced Training Techniques where we break down some of the basic science behind rep strategies and then I share how I train, for building muscle, and why!

This channel will be one of the best ones in the industry in near future
agreed Love him although he is on a ton of drugs...but very good information
Rocco Astoria Lmao your kidding right
no why?? Im a strength trainer ....I know he is on drugs....so what...no big deal
Rocco Astoria that doesn't mean he is on drugs lol.. it's not like he's been big like this his whole life. it's taken a lot of time and hard work. on supplements yes drugs no
He's not that big, put him in a construction crew or any intense manual labor job and he'd look a little below average.
Me: I never watch long RUclips videos
Me 30 minutes later: This is a friggin awesome video!
James, you are simply awesome! Thank you so much for taking time in explaining this! Your advanced training videos are super helpful!
Great school session! Love your presentations and delivery. You make it easy to understand and relate to. I'm so excited for the stuff you have planned and I know I'm actually getting something out of these vids. James - thank you!!!!!👊🏽 Keep up the great work.
Your content is by far the most educational and detailed I've ever seen on RUclips. I love that you take it seriously when it comes to the science behind each exercise. It is great to see someone taking extra work in explaining the importance of knowing why you do a certain exercise. Keep on with the awesome job you're doing James.
This is one of the best video's I have seen on the subject! There is a lot of great information packed into the 1/2 hour. Nicely done!
Thank You James Grage for your time and your helpfull information ☺
Really appreciate it.
just came across your channel and been binge watching all you videos - learnt so much! Thanks you
always look forward to these vids!!! very informative and even funny. definitely one of if not the best channels
Super informative video. Already applied this in my back workout today. Can't wait for the rest of the videos in the series
Best video on muscle development I have ever found. Thank you for the great video. So worth watching!!
james..I wished I knew you 15 years ago. I would have avoided multiple injuries.
artienyc same here. I started watching stuff on RUclips cause of an injured shoulder and fell in love with his videos. I would have had very little injuries if I watched his stuff years ago. I might need surgery on my shoulder :(
Same here, man.. and I would have been more motivated too... This is another great video that clearly belies the stereotype that bodybuilders are just another form of 'dumb jock'... of course we've known for a long time that this is not true, but it's great to see great videos that PROVE it.
This info is decades old, comes from the Olivia, Zane Arnold days. The phosphate system, muscle fibres, aeribuc/anaerobic system etc was taught in high school in 1985. It is gym folklore and has, been followed religiously. Hasn't changed, won't change.
Injuries come from youth and hitting maxxes prematurely or ignoring the mentioned basics. And they are basic. Know when to finish a set, don't be arrogant or cocky. Especially when on lower reps. If you struggled then that's it, that was last set. Stick on another 5-10kg, fuck it(which you already knew was a possibility) and there's ya injury.
He does not say don't go low and heavy. But again back to basics, even on low reps, strict form, control of weight control of movement. If you couldn't on 100kg, then you don't hit 105kg, in fact reverse pyramid, next set 95kg. I reverse pyramid after hitting 1RM 75%+ of the time. Or just drop heaps and go 10 then 20reps then fuck of to next exercise. On those 10reps+ post MAX. Really slow clean pure form with peak contractions.
Working out is the easy part, resr and nutrition are the hard part.
One of the best video I have ever seen on fitness. Love your work!!
James you're an absolute genius God bless you and your family for the time you put in for all these videos

Nicely done! Thank You from us older folks. Since I began to implement your teachings I am seeing gains and with less joint discomfort. Now working smarter.. Many Thanks!
Pure gold. Thanks for sharing.
First time seeing anybody explain in in this much depth.Thank you so much......
Very nice explanation James! Thank you!
Awesome video thank you. Man you gave a lot of really good information there in a way the common guy could understand it.
Thanks for this explanation. Your presentations make more sense than almost everyone else on Utube.
I absolutely love how you were able to explain the science behind muscles in an easy way to understand. I know it's not as important but for the curious and inquisitive mind it's always good to know. Thank you, so much. Love this style of Video.
Great Video and deep explanation James!!! Thank you for this great advice and education!!!
The best video you've done .........bar none !!!!! Awesome content !!
That was the single best 30 min, "long-winded" video I've ever enjoyed. Best content- period!! James, you are brilliant and we appreciate all the efforts taken to produce these great videos. Now we're all heading to the gym to try out these quality techniques. 👊
love the way u explain everything James u the man ty for everything squad
Just great bro! Thank you so much for this reminder, train smart, train hard! 👊🏻
Great explanation of muscle activation......this information is priceless, worthy of subscribing to.
James I just discovered your page, it's like 15 light bulbs went off! I'm 36, only been lifting for 6 months, I'm 6'3, went from 238 to 197 lbs, 26.4 to 17.3% bodyfat, and I've been watching video after video with "other" guys on RUclips. You are different. Better! Much better! I cannot wait to try your workouts, especially for chest. I can't wait to feel that pump, and the burn in my pecs! I haven't yet in the last 6 months. I feel some soreness, but not anywhere like I do in other muscles. I'm starting to feel the mind-muscle connection and are able to squeeze before starting my reps. It has me so excited. I watch your videos (today) and I'm following the movements without weights and I feel it!! I CANNOT WAIT to feel it with weights! I think this is a turning point, or rather the point where the gains will start coming at a much faster pace.
So thank you!
Great video and lots of good truthful points
Thank you so much James for your videos. lots of information. learning a lot thanks to you.!
As always these videos are super informative, Looking forward to the next one(s)
That's perfect. appreciate ur time and the good perspective .. keep it up
I only came across your videos 6 or so months ago. Shortly after I subscribed as I thought you seemed genuine.......since then I don't think I have missed one video......I do my own research on the science of nutrition and exercise techniques and think you are one of the most genuine and credible people in your industry on RUclips.
Thank you for your time and personal efforts to make these and help all of us!
Jon
