Build Muscle with High Reps

Posted on April 2, 2010

If you have developed a good level of strength high reps can be a great tool for stimulating new muscle growth. High reps is not recommended for beginners because they don’t have the strength, coordination or stabilization to maintain perfect form during a long period of time and more likely to get injured. The other thing is that if you are a weak beginner, it is very difficult to use a great deal of weight for more than eight reps on any given exercise.

The heavy weights for high reps concept works only with a few muscle groups and exercises, it shouldn’t be used all the time. The high rep set should always follow a heavy set. Compound lower body exercises like squats and leg presses are phenomenal muscle builders when used for high reps with heavy weights.

Dead lifts are also a great exercise when done for high reps but you have to be very careful to keep your back perfectly vaulted throughout. Rack dead lifts are a bit safer and easier to maintain. High reps are another great exercise to do with a one arm dumbbell row done with a slight cheat.

A heavy weight with for high reps will be effective in whatever compound or multi joint exercise you use. Just make sure that you have been training properly for at least two or three years and are strong enough before trying this.

High rep can always be fun with training partners also. You can get a high rep challenge from your rep partner to finish the workout. You may choose the heaviest dumbbells the gym has for a set of one arm dumbbell rows and do anywhere from 15-30 reps for one all out. It really brings out the best in you. It also helps pack on insane amounts of size.
