Doing three sets, I asume thats pretty standard, how many reps should I do for strength training? What about if I was trying to get cut, how many reps than?
Answer:
To increase strength do 4 - 6 reps and to build bigger muscles do 8 - 12 reps. Big muscles burn more calories and to get cut you need to burn more calories.
If you want to build up your muscles you slowly increase your weights and do less reps, more weight, if you want to define and tone you do more reps, less weight. Just slowly build yourself up. A little burn is ok but don't over do it. And make sure to drink lots of water =0)
A good start would be 7 reps per set to see how you respond. This allows for a balance between volume and intensity.Feel free to join us as http://www.cagedanimal.net - Fitness %26 Resistance Training Forums for more information and constant support.Many Thanks"Animal"
