Understanding Repetitons

Mechanically what’s most important is the amount of tension that is created within a session and the abilty to adapt to that.

Neurologically it is the density and volume of attention that goes into a movement that will wire it into the brain… or not.

We can create a high total stimulus with a low instantaneous stimulus by doing very high repetitions.

Practicing a movement for very high repetitions and under fatigue can also help to wire in more neurological drive for a movement.

Low repetitions with near maximal load create an intense learning experience. Pauses or pulling against immovable objects teach strength in that specific position.

High instantaneous tension can be created with low, moderate or high loads. For sports nstantaneous strength & attention capacity are key.

When using free weights there is a small variation between repetitions. We can take this further by varying the widith and rotation of the joints and by shifting the force between different muscle groups.

Our goal is to be strong in all positions and all repetiton ranges.
