Low reps or high reps for weight loss?

[Romeo1111]

If I’m on a calorie deficit and want to lose bodyfat should I do low reps with more weight or high reps with lower weight?

 

[Romeo1111]

And how many sets

u are not going to lose weight by weight lifting

Intensely > volume

 

[Zeekie]

Irrelevant. Use a mix of high and low rep training with proper intensity to elicit the biggest amount of muscle growth, certain muscles require more volume and repetitions than others to grow better.

Regardless, lifting won't make you lose weight, the whole point is that you gain muscle so it raises your metabolic rate and that you burn a few extra calories in the exercise itself, but that shouldn't be the main driver of your fat loss.

Do high reps to build toned muscles instead of big bulky muscles

All muscles work the same just work in the 6-8 rep range 1-2 rir

There's no such thing as toned muscles

Do moderate reps 8-10 reach failure that's it no need to go higher
If u go higher rep range u won't reach failure u will feel pump so much u won't be able to lift the weight but that's not muscular failure

Muscular failure is when ur muscles can't lift the weight

So in order to not get exhausted by pump and reach true muscular failure choose weight with which u can do 8-10 reps

If you lift heavy youll get too big so do more reps of a lighter weight instead for a more lean physique

All muscles will grow regardless of the stimuli you give them, but for truly optimal results you have to account for fiber composition and primary function. Calves, forearms, traps, rotator cuff (and other stabilizers), neck and abdominal muscles will do better at higher reps, anywhere from 10 to 15 reps.

By the way, not saying train for 10 to 15 reps, that's just the general range, you can do 10-to-12 or 12-to-15

You can do as many reps as you want jst do them until u can't anymore lol, but reaching failure between 8-12 reps is optimal
