Rep ranges and where to begin as a beginner

4/20/2023

Let's talk some more about rep ranges and how they affect the intensity of your workout, and where to start.

It's always better to start with lighter weights and proper form to prevent injuries.

Once you've established good technique and form, it's time to think about the number of reps you should perform for each exercise and set.

Here are some guidelines to help you get started:
  • 1-5 reps: This range is for more experienced lifters who can handle heavier weights with good form. If you're a beginner, it's best to start with a higher rep range to avoid injuries.
  • 8-12 reps: This is a good range to start with if you're new to strength training, but it may be better to start with a higher rep range to assist with establishing form first. You should use a moderate weight that you can lift with proper form for this number of reps.
  • 12+ reps: This range is great for beginners who want to focus on endurance and building muscle without lifting heavy weights. This range is best to establish form before moving to a higher intensity weight.

As you progress and feel comfortable with your form, you can gradually increase the weight and reps to continue challenging yourself.

At inbalance FITNESS, our certified personal trainers can guide you in safely implementing progressive overload into your strength training routine to establish a habit and avoid injury.
