    Default Do the Rep Range you hate to grow.

    Doesn’t matter who you are or what goals you have, you’ve probably plateaued at one point. It’s possible you’re plateaued at this very moment.
    .
    We tend to stick to the things we are pretty good at. Strength athletes stick to reps under 5. Bodybuilders stick to reps in the 8-12 range. Endurance people like cranking out 15+ reps at a time. It works for your goal. But eventually your limiting factor in your performance is your size; It’s the amount of muscle tissue you can put on that holds you back. So what do you do?
    .
    Start utilizing rep ranges you aren’t good at. If you’re a strength guy start doing some sets in the 10-15 range. You’re an endurance person? Work with heavier ranges in 5-8.
    .
    The old days of “muscle building rep range” is gone. You can build muscle with any rep range. For a month straight pick a rep range you suck at and hammer away. You’re welcome, in advance.

    One thing is for sure, and that's to do something your body isn't expecting.
