I fell for the 3-5 reps for strength meme...

Honestly I have no idea what the math is or the physics or biology of these things but my body feels like I'm able to work itself better at higher rep range with medium weight.

yes

Then do high reps with medium weight and mix in calisthenics. Also eat more protein and eat less carbs. Take a week or two off of drinking. You'll see a difference.

Yeah but you're still going to be able to notice the difference in how you feel/look etc even if it isn't huge
>Get none of the benefits of either
Probable causes:
>you aren't doing enough of anything
>you aren't eating enough

My biggest general tip for most people on this board who claim nothing works for them? find a sport you love and get (Cardio) fit doing it and go from there.
At the point where you actually understand what it takes to build muscle and endurance and the differences between the two, and once you're generally a bit leaner and fitter, you're going to find it way easier to specialise from there. Too many people on this board believe they're gonna become powerlifters from eating big and doing low intensity training and just end up being fat dyels.

The real deal is something i don't know the name of where you time your max speed for the movement with an accelerometer with no weight but the bar and add weight until your max speed drops to 80% and do reps till the speed drops some more.
My friend is an olympic trainer and that's what they use.

Literally everyone lifts to look good and feel good. No one has ever gotten a good strength base from starting out. Going into lifting with high volume and building good muscle makes so much more sense to do early on when people would see faster results and more reward feedback than "you're gonna lift weights without looking like you lift weights for years."

Just go till failure

That and also low volume/high weight at an early stage before you have good muscle control of individual groups is asking for an injury

look up training periodisation you dumb nigger

as for me personally, it's 7reps for every exercise
good balance between strength and aesthetics

Fake and gay liar

I just do 5 reps for heavy squats and then do 10-12 reps for the rest of the exercises. Every set to failure, with drop sets on the last set followed by individual leg training. Always to failure.
Can barely walk for the rest of the week but made great gains.
Your body doesn't know how many sets or reps you are doing, you just need to beat it up for it to adapt, I don't see how girl weights in the 20 rep range is going to force your body to adapt.

>I fell for the 3-5 reps for strength meme.
The sticky gives you workouts that make you do 8-10 reps as a beginner, how the fuck are you guys doiong less?

Part of me thinks that 5x5 was presented as a legitimate idea and then taken out of context or presented in bad faith by one really good troll several years ago until it took off on its own.

Actually, the best is a mixture of both when it comes to the big lifts. The 4-6 builds strength faster than 8-11, and the 8-11 gets you the volume you need for hypotrophy. Personally though, I always do high rep for squats just because that seems to work the best for me based on experience.

So in other words, my training is based on experience and a mixture of various things, and you are a noob looking for the one true rep range for everything.

I fell for the 8-10 reps for strength meme. Switched to 3-5 reps and in 5 months look better than I did working out for 2 years

i hate both of you

Rep range does not determine aesthetics you flaming retard. Aesthetics are simply a function of leanness

Ffs. I cant believe there are still dumb ass threads like this in 2022

Please post body this is what I do and I want to know if I'm wasting my time

Could well be, I do find a lot of the shit on this board is smoke and mirrors
>Follow this program
>Aight post it
>screencaps of other anons talking about program
>video of someone talking about trying said program they found online
>No actual evidence it works

No, its not a thing. Its just retards who dont understand that "aesthetics" are simply a function of leanness.

The bottom line is that you will never look good as a natty if you arent strong.
No amount of lifting in the "aesthetic" rep range will do anything if you're benching 165lbs.

>you're gonna lift weights without looking like you lift weights for years
I dont know where this meme comes from. You think 5x5 isnt enough volume for a natty to gain size?
