BTW 8-12 IN A SET IS GOOD FOR SIZE DEVELOPMENT.

shut the fuck up OP, that's what you should be doing.

just fucking look around the board or just fucking google it.

Seconded.

From what you posted 12x3 is the best, 15x3 will also increase size but barely any strength, 5x5 is the dick that most of /fit/ sucks.

I used to do 8x3 and have been getting great results. I've recently switched to 8x4 though.

5x5 is the best and in no way you should deviate from that not even for the sake of feeling different and hardcore.

20x1 is best for SQUATS

Depends on your goals, if your a beginner you may want to build your strength up a little with low rep ranges 5-6, 4 sets, or you could do hypertrophy range if you want, 8-12, 3-4 sets.

btw dont listen to these dumbfucks saying 5x5, doing 5x5 is for a specific program (Bill Star's)... NOT A FUCKING THING YOU WOULD DO FOR ALL YOUR EXERCISES. There is no point doing 5x5 curlz, or flies, of calf raises, like some dipshits on here say.

Guys, it's (sets)x(reps).
15x3 would be 15 sets of 3 reps.

BIGGER NUMBER = REPS... MEH

I'll take your word for it, though that doesn't make a ton of sense to me. I've always thought of it as doing BLANK reps BLANK times.

Who cares? you can move around the multiplyers the product will be the same.
8x3= 24
3x8= 24

Cruise control?

And no, the bigger number is not the reps.

6x3 is a common scheme for powerlifters, using low reps but with close to their maximum lifting weight to increase their one-rep maxes.

5x5 for the compound core stuff, 4x8-10 for the targeting stuff. Its that easy.

I usually always do 5 sets, but the amount of reps changes as weight goes up.

15
12
10
8
6

That's how it is right now anyway. I drastically change things around whenever I start to feel small gains.

You do x sets of x reps. Not x reps of x sets.

>>312966
But it's quite different wether you're doing 8 sets of 3 reps or 3 sets of 8 reps.

Generally:
Big: 3-5 sets of 8-12 reps.
Strong: 4-5 sets of 4-7 reps.
15 reps goes more towards some 'endurance' type muscle.

Mind you, everything out of the list will make the muscle stronger and probably grow, especially when you're a beginner.
