When exercising how many reps should you do with machines to eventually start seeing results?

Answer 1

for strenght you should do 1-5 reps per set. for endurance you should do 15-20 and to improve both you should do 8-12.

Answer 2

Use a weight that you can do more than 6 reps but don't do more than 12. Three sets as above is a good number. I've had good results with anything from 5 reps and 5 sets to 8 to 10 reps at 3 sets.

General idea is that fewer reps builds mass, more reps creates toning.

You should notice an improvement in strength in a couple of weeks and be able to see a difference in a month.

Take a day off between workouts to let your body recover.

Answer 3

Depends on what you are training for you need to be more specific, by the way free weights are a much better option as they also train your stabiliser muscles, where as they are not needed when using machines as you are in a fixed plain of movement.

here is a list of rep ranges for different training goals.

For strength gains: 1-5 reps

For muscle growth : 6-15 reps

For muscular endurance: 15+ reps

For muscular power : 8-10 reps *Power is the ability to generate force quickly so you will not be using the maximum amount of weight for this rep range, instead you will push the weight as quickly as possible while still maintaining control and using good form, and then resisting the weight as you slowly return to the starting position.

good luck

Answer 4
