A member asked:
What are some tips for strength training in terms of sets and reps to maximize results?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More reps less weigh: To build strength rather than bulk, a muscle needs more reps, and less resistance. Do three sets of fifteen reps with weights that leave the muscle really tired, but not straining or burning. Advance the reps to four sets of fifteen or three minutes of work on the muscle targeted before increasing the weight. To build train 4 days a week. To maintain 3 is enough.
