A member asked:
What would be the result of doing high reps with low weight and low reps with high weight in the same workout? would this add mass and hardness to my muscles or would one dominate the other?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Read long answer: Low wt and high number of reps leads to more toneing and conditioning. High wt and low reps leads to more muscle mass or bulk. I don't believe that one "dominates" the other but individuals are usually looking for one result or the other so they choose how they want to work with wts.
