How are repetitions related to weight training for endurance?

Weight training intensity basically refers to how much weight you will be lifting and how heavy or light that weight is for you on a given exercise.

The lighter the weight/easier it is for you, the lower the intensity. The heavier the weight/harder it is for you, the higher the intensity.

And, all of this intensity stuff is usually predicted by one thing: how many reps you’re doing per set.

Reps (short for “repetitions”) are the number of times you move a weight from point A to point B during a set of an exercise. The lighter the weight, the more reps you will be able to lift it for. The heavier the weight, the fewer reps you’ll be able to lift it for.

Obvious, I know. But, as you can see, reps and intensity go hand in hand most of the time. Meaning…

The more reps you can lift a weight for = the lower your training intensity is.
The fewer reps you can lift a weight for = the higher your training intensity is.
The reason this is important to us is because certain levels of intensity are more ideal for certain goals than others (due to factors like time under tension, muscle fiber recruitment, etc.).

And this leads to an important question: what weight training intensity is best for your goal?

Or, to put it another way, how many reps should you do per set of an exercise? Let’s find out…

The lighter the weight, the more reps you will be able to lift it for. The heavier the weight, the fewer reps you'll be able to lift it for. Obvious, I know.

...

So, as you can see:

Lower reps (high intensity) is most ideal for increasing strength.

Higher reps (low intensity) is most ideal for improving muscle endurance.

Value: 1<br> Why do victims not tell their parents what is happening to them on the computer?
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

If we are talking about cyberbullying, the answer is below.

Explanation:

As a cyberbully victim, I felt weak and defenseless, and the ability to fight back just doesn't appeal to me. But I thought that my "friend" had been sending mean messages to me still made us friends, and adults often feel the need to intervene, and "make a scene". But also the fact that "it won't help" and kids think no matter how many times you report them, they won't stop, and in some cases that is true, but that doesn't wipe out the fact that an adult needs to be told. I was also afraid of losing digital access to my device, and that the victim may feel that reporting the cyberbully may cause the parent/guardian to feel the need to take away the victim's electronic access. But that, most of the time doesn't happen.

Hope this helps!
