What is the best rep range for building muscle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low reps: If you are trying to add muscle mass you want to progress up to a heavy weight and then do lower repititions to failure at the higher weight. Shoot for 6 to 8 reps and always go to failure. Failure is defined by not being able to lift the final rep while maintaining meticulous form.
