Everyone says higher reps build "endurance". Well what exactly is endurance, and why do some people tend to build for it?

Endurance means that you last longer in the bedroom. That is why some people tend to build for it.

endurance (as far as I know) is when the muscle can do many reps many time.
For example: the heart has an awesome endurance, it needs almost no rest, but, it has no strength.
your bicep, has a lot of strength but little endurance. (compared to the heart)
Athletes need edurance when they run and stuff like that.♂Nice Ass Crew♀

endurance is not how much weight you can lift once, but how much weight you can lift for an extended period of time. heres and example, one rep max of 300 would be no endurance, but 250 12 times wuld be endurance. if u dont understand, heres another example running 2 or 3 miles takes endurance.

yes exactly, their muscle would be getting used to the weight being lifted and be used to using that muscle for x amount of reps over x amount of minutes

What about in real life situations? ie Pulling, Carrying, Pushing
Will endurance keep your muscles from getting tired?
Has anyone gotten size results from 12+ reps?

Yes, I do 10-12 reps regularly. Every now and then I'll do 6-8 reps, but then I'll finish it off with less weight with extra reps. I rarely do less than 10 total per set.Originally Posted by TheBeast29
