High Volume Strength Intensity

It’s crucial to incorporate both high-rep and low-rep training into your fitness routine, regardless of where you are in your journey.

Think of it like preparing for a race: high rep training, akin to long runs, builds endurance for sustained activity, while low rep training, similar to short sprints, enhances speed and power. Both types of training target different aspects of your body, making you a more well-rounded athlete.

They complement each other, which is why you’ll notice variations in rep ranges from training block to training block
