We always believe that lifting heavy gives you big muscles, And it is true to a great extent. But We should also realize the law of individual differences sets a different muscle growth environment for each individual and muscle group inside the body.
For example Your back responds great with sets of doubles or triples in deadlifts. But when we try similar stuff for a tiny muscle group like biceps or calf, we do not generate enough growth stimuli.
A combination of high reps as high as 20 reps per set to as heavy as 8-10 reps gives us a comfortable weight to hold. So with better and balanced hold of dumbell, barbell or machinem we can generate that mind and muscle connection required to generate the growth stimuli.
Moreover checking out those guns in the mirror while working out is ultimate #motivation to workout harder.
So todays message is : Dont get caught up in one rep range,experiment which rep range suites to each muscle and stick to the best one for each muscle group. Bodybuilding or fitness is not just doing a routine written on a paper, but understanding the body and pushing it to the limit.
