Optimizing Muscle Growth through Rep Ranges and Sets
Utilizing a method that gradually increases reps while starting a few reps shy of failure allows individuals to optimize muscle growth by reaching failure within four to six weeks. Progressing from reps in reserve to failure in a single mesocycle helps in determining one's best performance level for future programs. Additionally, focusing on total working sets per muscle group per session is crucial for maximizing muscle growth, as excessive sets can lead to fatigue without recruiting optimal muscle fibers. Finding the balance between proximity to failure and sets per session is key to achieving ideal hypertrophy outcomes and preventing burnout.
