Why Repetitions In Your Muscle Building Program are Important

The tests are the building blocks of any strength or muscle building program, but it is something that raises many take for granted. How often do you see people at the gym speed through their representatives, to breathe at random or not to complete each rep correctly from a technical standpoint? There is a lot easier with the representative of what it seems.

First, it should be noted that the game consists of three elements - namely lower, pause and lift. The speed with which you get depends on the desired result, but to maximize muscle growth a slow, controlled rhythm is required. The process should never be fast, jerky or bouncy, but must be controlled and gradual.

The second consideration is how many representatives should be performed. Again, it depends on what you hope to achieve, but you can use the following as a basic rule:

1. A single repetition maximum (1RM) increases muscle strength.

A second maximum 6-8 repetitions increases muscle size.

3. Greater number of repetitions is the most affected muscle endurance and little impact on size or strength.

Your goal should be to complete 6-8 reps, and the load is responsible for 75-80% of your 1RM. This maximizes the potential for muscle building, if you fill in each lift with perfect form smoothly controlled.
