4. Low Reps for Strength

There are several different strategies when it comes to building muscle through lifting weights. There is a difference in training for muscle size and training for muscle strength. As a general rule, the heavier the weight the more strength will be built up. The higher the reps, the more size will be gained in the muscle. It is important to balance out both strength and size over the long term. There are many people who do not vary this work enough and end up out of proportion. If you are someone who wants to take your training to the next level, make sure to increase the amount of times that you conduct low rep and high weight training. This will improve your base levels of strength and increase the likelihood of performing at your best over a long period of time.
