Lifting Reps vs. Weight?!


Question: Lifting Reps vs!. Weight!?
which gives you more bulk and which gives you more strengthWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You can train in the 6-10 reps for bulk!.

As for strength training try the 5 reps x 5 sets training regime!. This helped me gain ALOT of strength about a year ago when I was feeling pretty weak!.

Also when you are training for bulk you should focus on form and technique!. Never use momentum to lift up the weights!. You'll just be cheating youself!.

You should also focus on the negative parts of movements while working out!. (EX!. The going down part while benching!.)

But remember, nothing will work if you do not have a stable diet plan!. I learned that the hard way!. I spent one whole year training my A** off without a proper nutrition and my gains were minimal!.

A really good website to check out is bodybuilding!.com !. This website helped me so much and I really don't think I can stay motivated without it!. They have thousands of articles that feeds you with bodybuilding knowlegde!.

Most importantly, when you start a training regime, never stop! You have to have the "I won't miss my workout for anything!!" type of attitude!. I had to learn that the hard way!. I stopped training for a couple of weeks due to so much school things I had to take care of!. When I began training again I realized the gains that I have made in the past were missing!. This really lowered my self esteem, but I'm still keeping it up!. Summer is coming which means no school and I'd really like to make a complete transformation!.

Bodybuilding is a fun hobby to have!. It teaches you so many things and changes your outlook on many things!.

So again, remember!.!.!.
Train in the 6-10 rep range for mass
And also the 5sets X 5 reps for strength
Have a proper nutrition plan!. Know how many calories you should be eating everday!. You didn't tell me you weight, so I'll give you an idea!. (150lbs = shoot for 3000 calories a day)
Most importantly stay motivated and NEVER give up!.
Try to gain as much knowlege as possible!. Muscle magazines help a lot!. And you can check out bodybuilding!.com !. Use their search bar and type in a keyword!. Anything about muscle to read they have!. Good luck !Www@Answer-Health@Com

For strength, lifting within the 1-5 rep range as this stimulates the type 2b muscle fibers used primarily for strength!. When training for hypertrophy, lifting within the 8-12 rep range is typically best as this gives you the time under tension (45-60 seconds) as well as GH release necessary for muscle growth of all type 2 fibers; focus on the eccentric portion of the lift, over 15 reps, and you're working the type 1 muscle fibers utilized for endurance which do not grow large, and also does not stress the CNS or break down muscle tissue!.

Training high reps, low weight for toning and low reps, high weight for bulk is one of the biggest misconceptions regarding weight lifting!. High reps won't do squat for developing muscles!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Personal trainers, physical therapists and athletic trainers will all tell you to lift what you can handle as many times as you can without getting sore and make sure that the weight is something that you can handle but not something that you can do all day!. If you do this fairly often then you will build muscle and strength quickly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
