Deep dives
Understanding Myo Reps
Myo Reps is a unique training method developed to enhance muscle activation and hypertrophy, primarily using lighter loads. The technique revolves around performing an activation set to failure, followed by short rest periods during which multiple additional reps are executed. This approach capitalizes on the principle that the last few reps in a typical set, where maximum muscle activation occurs, are the most effective for muscle growth. By eliminating long rest periods and increasing the effective reps within a session, Myo Reps offers a time-efficient alternative for individuals seeking significant gains in muscle size.
