can i build muscle with high reps?

Answer 1

When you ask about building muscle, do you mean build bulk, or build strength?

If you want to bulk up, you need to work the heaver weights. If you want strength without the bulk, lighter weights with more reps is the way to go.

Answer 2

I'm gonna throw in my 2 cents worth since i still lift at least 3 times/week.
a lot of things factor into a work-out.Age, metabolism,body size,but 1 thing stays constant. you need 3 things in order to rip some decent size.
1 - A good workout
2 - proper rest (your whole body, not just the parts you plan to build)
3- proper nutrition.
I'm gonna skip nutrition as I don't know a thing about you;however YOU know your body better than anyone else. You can't get enuff natural proteins when building mass.Fish,shellfish,steak,fresh greens such as spinach,etc.
Proper rest is self explanatory.If you are looking for a good work-out after party nite its not gonna happen.Until you get used to working out every day, you should do every other day to allow your body time to rebuild.When you work-out,you actually "tear-down" muscle which is the "burn" or pain everyone talks about.Overdoing it here actually does more harm than good.The best way is to work out to get a good burn without searing pain, then let your body rest while being aware of your nutrition.

Rep (you didn't say what body parts) with the heaviest weight you can manage without that searing pain.This is totally individual,meaning it varies in everyone.Don't be ashamed if its not a lot of weight.Your body just isn't used to it yet.Once you find that max limit, only lift 80% of that as your max weight.(Ex. your best benchpress is #180 lbs,so your max weight in your workout should be #145 lbs).notice I said max. You should do about 3 sets of 10 reps with 60 -70 - 80 % on each set.Full extension , and complete reps are key.do this for a month or so 3 times/week,and every other week go back to that 100%(in this case #180lbs) and see how it feels.In time it will feel a lot lighter.When the #180 feels light,(meaning you can bench it easily now for reps practically like you do the 70% weight, its time to bump up the weight a lil bit. as you bump it up , your body will be bumping the muscle mass too!

Answer 3

To a certain extent, you will build alittle muscle but it will only be allittle and the moer and more reps you do it will start to get tighter and tighter, and it can be interpreted as being more and more cut and defined. But to build muscle, you are going to have to go heavy, find the highest wierght you can do 10 of then, increase and do 8 then incrase do 6 and then mayabe if you can, increase and do 4 reps. Of coarse seperate them with 2 min intervals.

Answer 4

You will get leaner, more defined muscles with high reps, but to get bigger muscles, you'll need to use heavier weights

Answer 5

no. you need to lift heavy and less reps. also you need to give you muscle time to heal. working the same muscle over and over again continuously will only rip the muscle more. rest allows your muscle to heal then you can rip it again. supplements help alot.

Answer 6

no, big basic and brief
no muscle is put on in the gym, it is put on while your resting, the gym is like a lift call button
you must eat prtien 6 meals aday, muscles come from protein no where else.
twice weekly lift heavier and heavier
bend legged dead lifts squals bench presses and the like

free weights
no micro exercise like flys

Answer 7

No. Do low reps...but more of em' and gradually go higher up the weight rack.
