Hey guys, I'm new here as you can see. I've been working out for about 6 months and have been following the forums on here for a little while before creating my account, so I'm not a complete noob. I was just wondering what would be the best for increasing my strength; more weight and less reps or less weight and more reps. Thoughts?

Clearly you haven't been following the forumsOriginally Posted by Blenkiron
in general
1-5 = strength
6 - 12 = size
13 + = endurance
95% of 1MR is just strength
80- 95 is speed and strength, below is just speed..or something, idk
but basically 5 reps or lower per set is good for strength. Make sure you add weight every session as long as you can

But some routines will maybe have one exercise that is higher reps. What i do is my rep rage is 4-6 if i can do 6 then i go up in weight if i can only get 4 or 3 then stay at that weight till i can do 5-6

Shorter reps more weight, or longer reps less weight? From a 200m/400m sprinter.
