Bench press: How many reps for maximum Result (Muscle Volume/Strength)
Study from Journal of Strength Conditioning Research:
Effects of 4, 8, and 12 Repetition Maximum Resistance Training Protocols on Muscle Volume and Strength
Result:
These results suggest that the increase in muscle size is similar among the 3 training protocols when the training volume was equated, whereas the increase in muscle strength is lower with the 12RM protocol than the other protocols.
Coach Ondrej:
I agree, greatest muscle gains I archived during my powerlifting career.
