Endurance - Repetition Range

 Endurance - Repetition Range

You're on a mission to boost your endurance through your time in the gym!  So - what does your endurance based workout look like?  How many reps are you doing inside your workout to train your existing muscle mass to work longer? 

Endurance training is intentional - you are focused on boosting the performance of your existing muscle mass.  This isn't about getting bigger - or even stronger!  This is about performing consistently - for the long haul. 

Inside this goal - you'll discover that you are going to be lifting lighter weights.  You know that showing off your endurance doesn't happen in the gym - it happens out in the world - inside your event, sport or challenge.  The gym is your playground to build.

The general rule of thumb... for endurance results, you want to be pushing a weight that allows you to complete 14 - 20 plus reps of each selected exercise.  If you lift heavier than that, you'll be building muscle mass (remember hypertrophy is in the 8 - 12 rep range) rather than endurance.  Take on lighter weights for all your lifts.  Isolation movements to build endurance in specific muscle areas, and also lighter weights in your foundational compound movements to build overall body muscular endurance.
