so i've decided to change my routine just a little.
i used to do the 10 exercises with 15 reps on each exercise (30 on the ones w/out weights) and 2 it twice.
now i'm doing the 10 exercises with 10 reps on each (20 w/out weights) and doing it 3 times.
still the same amount of reps, but trying to now make it more of an endurance thing instead of strength.
does like this really matter? or make a difference? would you see different results if say you did each exercise 1 time, at 30 reps?

Without knowing the specifics of your routine, I'd say that you're simply adding more rest time for your muscles and thus making the exercise easier.

i think doing sets of 6-12 reps is much more effective than just doing a lot of repetitions once. your muscles won't react the same way without first doing a warm up set followed by sets that destroy them so that they can rebuild. doing 30 bicep curls once won't do anything other than drain them. doing more than 12 reps is generally pointless.

You aren't going to destroy the muscles without sufficient resistance. If you can rep a weight 15 times in a row, then it isn't heavy enough for hypertrophic training, and doing 6-12 reps with it isn't going to change that. Lowering reps is only good if you increase resistance at the same time.

really been stepping my game up recently at the gym, with a little more emphasis on eating properly and doing more cardio which i was always lazy with.
though i only posted in this thread a few times before, and only know maybe one active poster in here in person, maybe ill put up some progress pics towards the end of this week.

well yea...i guess i should've added that somewhere in there. obviously doing 6-12 reps of a really light weight won't do anything.

only difference is that i'm using a 25lb weight for all of the exercises, and i'm doing reps, not 1 minute worth.
infinity high: i never thought of doing a light warm up , then "destroying" thme. i always just stretched a little and then went and did it. but that sounds good, i like that suggestion.
