| | | If you're getting bigger, you will be stronger. But I know that there are typically different workouts for if you are size training or strength training. I train for strength, not for size. |

| | | The two are intertwined somewhat. If you train for size, your strength is going to increase. If you train for strength, your size is going to increase a bit. The goal you train for is definitely going to show through more than the other though. I train for strength in order to punch and kick harder. |

| | | Here's something I've found during my research...
01-05 reps = Strength/Power
06-12 reps = Hypertrophy (size) & some strength
12-20 reps = Local endurance/little size |

| | | and if you're going for a few goals, or all 3, vary your rep count for each set. eg 12 10 8 6.. somthin like that
and remember most of those numbers mean ~12 then failure ~10 then failure (so you've really got to know your body well to anticipate reps) |

| | | i do the pyramid workout, all sets to failure
1x15
1x10
1x6
1x3
thats just a rough example, but i put enough weight to get failure at about the given rep. 30sec - 1min rest between each set. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
