Rep Range Confusion!
Lately, it seems as though common sense has evaded a larger percentage of strength and conditioning professionals out there. Is it just me, or are there too many guys out there telling athletes to use 91.46% of their 1RM training load for 6X2 on “heavy days,” but to use 75.76% of that load on for 5X5 on“light days”, and oh yeah, don’t perform two CNS intensive days back to back, so I guess you should skip your skill development workout today, because we are going heavy tomorrow! Huh? Why does training need to be so complicated? One thing I know, if your athletes have to do math, your program sucks. Get stronger, recover, get better at the skills of your sport, sprint, do it again. Yes, it is that simple. Among many other issues, I have always found it to be very puzzling that rep ranges are assigned to training goals; I am sure you have heard them all. Training in the 1-5 rep range is for “strength”, the 6-12 rep range is for “size”, and anything over 12 reps is for “endurance.” Seems nice and neat on a piece of paper, but are these parameters practical? While I do think that training in every rep range has its place in an annual training cycle, for our intents and purposes I am going to discuss how one can “transcend” rep ranges to achieve desired training results, and maximize the safety and well being of the athlete in the process.
