High reps vs. low reps—which is actually better for muscle growth, strength, and recovery? A new study on elite weightlifters challenges the idea that heavy weights are the only way to build muscle. Turns out, lighter weights with high reps might be just as effective, and they even reduce muscle damage and recovery time. But does that mean you should ditch heavy weights? In this video, we break down two recent studies that dive into muscle hypertrophy, motor unit recruitment, and recovery differences between high-rep and low-rep training. If you’re wondering which training style is best for you, watch until the end! Links to studies in the video: Study 1: https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/23/...
