How many reps for hypertrophy?

[titomuheedo]

Im watching what I eat pretty good. Im so ecto its not even funny. I am really trying to get some growth though. If I do start putting on some serious bf% I will change it up though. It will be easy to take off though bc of my natural body type and how little my body wants to eat. A lot of the calories right now are coming from meats and protein shakes.

Bro.. if your putting on 3 pounds a week, theres not way 2/3 of that is muscle, and your gonna waste months and months cutting away your regrets.. I wasted 3 months when i couldve just done 1.5, 3 months of muscle building wasted, gone, and i ate completely clean too, But if your still persistant, go ahead.

Just my 0.02

My last bulk i ate the same way and gained 3 pounds/week. By the time 2 months past I went from 12% to 23%, Don't do it bro.

1 pound a week is enough, thats what im doing now and im seeing plenty growth.

Just use all rep ranges, i use a rep range from about 4-60.

Josef - In what context do you use 20+ reps? Must be painful!

Ill definately take your advice into consideration, Ill play with my die to see what works best. I want to add at least 10lbs before new years though.

Many a body has grown with the tried and true 4-6 reps doing compound movements and 10-15 doing isolation.

I'll 3rd or 4th this statement. There's nothing that seems to kill motivation as much as fat gain, especially for an ectomorph (been there, done that).

Hypertrophy is 8 - 12 reps with 3 - 4 sets. Optimal rest period 60 seconds between sets. lifting intensity (weight) is at 70 - 85 percent of your 1 rep max. If its your first time going through this phase its recommended to start at 70%.

Example lets say your 1rm for bench press is 200 lbs. 200lbs x.70 = 140 lb

Your bench press would be
140 8- 12 times with 3 - 4 sets depending on what you can do.

I hope this helped you out.

Weak 1st post.

Thread is almost 5 years dead.

Oh, OK ;-)

For a hypertrophy workout with rep range of 8-12, should it be the pyramid form or drop sets.
