More or fewer repetitions to build muscle?

Many times we have asked ourselves if we need to do more or fewer repetitions to build muscle. Is it more effective to exercise with a higher weight and with a lower number of repetitions? Is it more effective to exercise with more repetitions and with less weight? In fact, both options are effective in inducing muscle hypertrophy. In general, you can build muscle with both 8 and 20 reps.

What does it matter then?

What is more important is to realize that you should not give up on exercise. Even more, you have to get tired enough.  Thus, you will encourage new physiological changes in the body.  Or more precisely you should be the point close to giving up.

How will we know what our endurance is?

No matter how many repetitions we do, it is important that the last weight lifts are not pleasant.  All things considered, we have to work hard to bring them out.  It is actually a load that mostly affects the new adaptations of the organism.

Good muscle control of movement

In addition to what we said above, good muscle control of the movement is also required.  There should be a difference in the positive and negative phases as well.  If you do every movement without distinguishing between these phases, in fact, you may not be activating the muscle in the best way.

How do repetitions affect muscles?

Bigger weight (6-8 reps)

Advantages:
Stimulates muscle growth
Strength development
Weaknesses:
Too long a period of turning in this mode leads to more fatigue altogether.

Medium and smaller weight(10-30 reps)

Advantages:
It stimulates the development of muscle mass
Increases muscular endurance likewise

Over 30 repetitions

It is unnecessary. For instance, it can cause tendon fatigue rather than hypertrophy.

In summary here are some general rep and set rules.

To increase strength: 5 sets of 3–5 reps, 2 or more minutes rest between sets. Strength gains occur in response to heavy loads that challenge your muscles. If you don’t consistently increase the weight you use over time, your strength-building will stall. 

To build muscle mass or lose weight: 4 sets of 6–12 reps, 90 seconds to 2 minutes rest between sets. High-volume resistance training is the best method for building muscle.

To improve muscular endurance: 3 sets of 12–20 reps, 90 seconds rest between sets. Muscular endurance refers to how long your muscles can keep moving under a given load.
