The article from MSN discusses the debate between performing more repetitions with lighter weights versus lifting heavier weights for fewer reps, as explained by fitness trainer Rachel Pieroni. Pieroni highlights that the choice depends on individual fitness goals. For those aiming to increase muscle size (hypertrophy), a moderate weight with a rep range of 8-12 is recommended, as this range effectively stimulates muscle growth. If the goal is strength, lifting heavier weights for fewer reps (3-5) is advised, which helps in enhancing neuromuscular efficiency and strength. For endurance, lighter weights with higher reps (15+) are beneficial, improving muscle endurance and stamina. Pieroni also emphasizes the importance of varying workouts to prevent plateaus, suggesting that incorporating both methods can lead to well-rounded fitness improvements. Additionally, she notes the significance of proper form to avoid injury, regardless of the weight or rep scheme chosen.
