The article from MSN discusses optimal strategies for building strength and muscle through weight training, focusing on the number of sets and reps. It explains that for muscle hypertrophy (growth), performing 3-5 sets of 6-12 reps with weights that are 70-80% of your one-rep max is generally recommended. For strength, the article suggests lower reps (1-5) with heavier weights (85-100% of one-rep max) and more sets (3-6). It also touches on the importance of rest periods between sets, suggesting 1-2 minutes for hypertrophy and 2-5 minutes for strength. Additionally, the piece highlights the significance of progressive overload, where the intensity of workouts is gradually increased to continue muscle growth and strength gains. The article concludes by noting that individual responses can vary, and personal goals, current fitness level, and recovery capacity should guide the specific set and rep scheme.
