My Philosophy Behind Doing Higher Repetitions

January 7th, 2007

Hello again and welcome back! As we start a brand NEW YEAR we should ALL think about getting those resolutions started right away! Remember those TWO words that now YOU are living by, that’s right NO EXCUSES! If ONE of your resolutions is to begin your own training program, I STRONGLY recommend that YOU listen closely to my next blog! It might help YOU in deciding whether to focus on doing HIGH or LOW reps in your sets! As you’ve read in ALL of MY training blogs, I keep MY repetitons EXTREMELY high with ALL the exercises that I perform for good reason! I hope once I explain to YOU my philosophy why I train like this, YOU will want to FOLLOW in my foot steps!

Are you ready?

Here we go again!

There are SEVERAL reasons why I choose in doing the higher reps compared to doing low reps, let’s say for example 8 to 10 reps which I see is pretty common today. I’m going to touch on TWO VERY important reasons, 0n WHY I feel that the HIGH reps will DEFINITELY benefit YOU much MORE! For starters without ANY doubt in my mind, it will help YOU gain GREATER muscle size, strength and definition! I know for ME the HIGH reps have DEFINITELY played an IMPORTANT role, in my bodybuilding success that I’ve had to this point and it continues, THANKS to God! Listen I’m NOT saying that YOU have to do FIFTY reps or anything like that! It has taken me a LONG time to acheive that and I know if YOU train HARD with consistency, YOU will be inducting into MY fifty rep club!

The second and MOST important reason is the HIGHER reps will allow YOU to INCREASE your cardiovascular conditioning! I truly feel by doing this YOU will burn MORE bodyfat at a higher rate, which ONLY will result in YOU gaining MORE lean quality muscle! I know for ME that is the ONLY way to acheive a MORE muscular lean physique, now isn’t that what YOU really want? I KNOW I do! It’s funny because everytime I go to the gym I see alot of these BIG guys, put ALOT of weight on the bar and make ALOT of noise for ONE REP! When I look at there form I just shake my head and say to myself, who are they trying to impress! I guarantee YOU they will be visiting the chiropractor soon!

I beleive we touched on this point earlier in one of my recent blogs, which is YOU should be training for YOURSELF! If your doing it to impress someone I STRONGLY suggest don’t bother to start a training program this year! Believe me I’ve been doing this long enough to know, doing HEAVY weight with LOW reps right off the bat will ONLY GREATLY improve your chances of hurting YOURSELF! Trust ME I’ve seen it happen to people time and time again, I DEFINITELY don’t want YOU to be NEXT in line!

I have a GREAT idea for you! Would YOU like to know what that might be? GREAT! It’s simple, start a training program with weight YOU can handle safely, keeping your reps between 12 to 15 repetitions! As time goes by and you see yourself getting stronger, graudually INCREASE the weight and reps accordingly! I suggest in increments of five with both weight and reps, before YOU know it you’ll pass ME how GREAT would that be! So what are YOU waiting for lets get started, and I’ll see YOU at MY next contest! You NEVER know YOU might be competing in your first show this year! If I CAN do it and SUCCEED so can YOU! Remember NO EXCUSES see YOU at the finish line!!!
