High reps done honestly make you strong.
Think about how it’s said to train between 75-85% of 1rm.
With reps you’re always training “moderate” by scientific definition.
It’s a sustainable place to be.
You keep layering small gains in strength upon layer of small gains in strength.
Eventually you are very strong, and it came from reps.
The weight you can use for volume does increase over time.
Don’t have a mental block on what you can do for reps.
Consider what they say to be an 8rm to have potential to be a 50rm, and you’ll be able to progress far with reps.
Realize that eventually you will be able to do such things as pushups with people standing on your upper back, simply having put in the consistent years of volume.
Do the work.
It will work.
Enough consistency over years makes everything work.
That’s the perfect programming, and high reps are more accessible than low reps.
Calisthenics and a 300lb weight set, should either/or float your boat with the right mentality, this one, will get you strong.
“How’d you get strong.”
“I did reps for a decade.”
