[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP. 20 reps is probably too much. Most people who lift for strength are in the 3-10 reps per set range. Neighing that range, I wouldn’t overthink it. What I was powerlifting, I’d do 3-5 sets of 3-5 really heavy reps with very long rests, but it took a very long time and — because I was stupid — I accumulated some injuries. I now tend to lift in the 5-10 rep range, and I tend to work up to 10 reps at a weight, then increase weight and drop to 5 reps. Since my weight increases are small, this builds in a bit of a deload because I do 5 reps for a couple of workouts even if I can for more. I suck at taking deload weeks (again, I’m stupid) so this helps keep me healthy. [/quote]
