Changing my workouts for strength

[Ceazquy]

I’m looking to adjust my workouts and do more strength routines instead of General muscle gains
one of the tips that my trainer gave me was he wanted me to switch to 12 repetitions per set
this seems kind of high in my opinion do you agree with him?
Previously I was doing 15 reps

if you want to get stronger start doing 2-6 reps range and max

 

[SteveSmi]

you can do more reps at a lower weight to build consistency
but i would aim for more 4-5 rep range on heavier lifts

 

[Mobster]

It's better but not ideal

 

[QuadSweep]

You will want to aim more toward the 6 rep range

bro i like 2-3 rep area. kill that shit

 

[JasonPriest]

I've never trained heavy before and I've always stayed healthy that way I almost kicked at least the 8 to 12 rep range

 

[MONSTRO]

for me it's between five and seven reps on the heavier lifts

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

in your situation I would recommend no more than two or three reps at the most maybe on the final set

 

[2Thick]

if you want to get hurt go for a one or two rep max

 

[e2]

too risky to do one or two rep range Max outs because I've seen a lot of guys tear muscles that way

you absolutely should be reducing your rep range

 

[chesty]

15 reps is too high but you can still get stronger even at that range

 

[ROIDDERS]

Progressive overload has been shown to be more effective when you are doing the 6 to 8 rep range

 

[CEO]

bros hit the weights hard. 5 reps per set

Guys got it covered.
