A mistake many beginners make when they start in the gym is applying the wrong rep ranges for their intended goals.
For example: I’ve seen people wanting to look ‘ripped’, yet how they train is more appropriate for someone looking to increase their 1 rep max.
Enjoy this infographic I have put together to simply explain the number of reps you should be aiming for dependent on your weight training goal.
Anyone looking for performance in sport should look at Endurance.
Anyone wanting to look good, see Get BIG.
Anyone wanting to become a Powerlifter look at Power & Strength.
Good luck with your progress and may you achieve your goals!

Thank you – yes I did. I used canva.com using enlarged emojis for the images. Worth checking out if you want to create a few graphics.

If you’re too fit, too strong, too body builder-ish – fat or thin you can’t win in the fitness industry!
