Heavier Weights: Which Gets Better Results?

The debate over whether to prioritize more reps or heavier weights in workouts is longstanding in the fitness community.

On the one hand, higher repetition workouts lead to increased muscular endurance, metabolic conditioning, and a greater overall volume of work

Both methods of training offer valid points, but determining which approach yields better results ultimately depends on various factors

However, while heavier weights are conventionally associated with muscle growth, higher rep ranges can also stimulate hypertrophy

This is attributed to their ability to generate metabolic stress and prolong time under tension, both critical factors for muscle development.

As rep counts exceed 20 per set, the emphasis shifts toward enhancing muscular endurance

Engaging in more repetitions with lighter weights enhances the muscle's capacity to sustain activity over extended periods
