- How Do Repetitions Affect Your Weight Training?
By: Michael Gavre | - One of the least understood terms in weight lifting jargon is the word repetition. The number of repetitions, or reps, that you perform matter quite a bit to your overall weight training strategy. Basically, if your goal is to build the biggest, strongest muscles that your physiology allows, then you need to be performing low numbers of repetitions, about 4 to 6 (perhaps even as low as 1 to 2). The key here is to lift a heavy enough weight so that by the end of the last repetition, you are unabl ...

- Weight Training Program: Depends On Your Goals
By: Grant Forton | - You can use a weight training program to build muscle fast if you know what your goals are at the onset of your training program and what specifically to do to reach your goals. High loads (heavy weight) and a small number of reps are perfect for building brute strength. If you are looking to improve your fitness and endurance, then lower your weight significantly and do a lot of reps, about fifteen per set. Increasing muscle size is accomplished by using a weight that allows for about 7-12 re ...

- 3 Sets Of 10: Classic Weight Training Program
By: Tony Schwartz | - One of the most used loading parameters for an exercise is 3 sets of 10. This has become the default setting for many weight training programs. How come 3 sets of 10 is so popular? Is it the best choice for your individual goals?

- Make Your Weight Training Program A Habit
By: Tony Schwartz | - Making exercise a habit is one of the most difficult obstacles every new trainee faces. I believe the main reason for this is that most weight training programs typically only recommended training for 3-5 days per week. It can be pretty hard to build a habit if youre taking every other day off.
For this reason I like to incorporate some type of daily strength training with many new trainees. This could be something as simple as a few push-ups or pull-ups everyday, or it could g ...
