A rep range (like, 6-8 reps) will give you an objective measure of when to go up the weights compared to single reps number (like, 6 reps/repetition).įor instance, you start with 45 lb for 2 sets of 6 reps. This will minimize the burn, keep the set short and will also give you enough practice with the movement. Ideal rep range for beginners? So the best range for beginners would be 6 - 8 reps. The only benefit of using an 8-12 reps range is that it gives your lots of practice (of course with bad form). The longer the set, the easier it is to loose your focus (and your form). Long set: An 8-12 repetition is a long set.The more the burn, the harder it is to focus on proper form, especially for beginners. Too much burn: The 8-12 repetition range increases the lactic acid accumulation and brings the “burn”.Beginners should be more concerned about perfecting their form than worrying about muscle growth and strength. Why are 8-12 reps NOT ideal for beginners? Learning proper technique becomes critical for a beginner. Mainly because the weight is light and this reps range is best for muscle growth.
