Abstract

Myth: To get big I have to lift _ number of sets and _ number of reps with very heavy weight. Fact: If you search online for a workout routine to build muscle you’ll most likely find a plethora of plans claiming to be the best. If there are so many plans, why haven’t we found that perfect combination? This myth is tough in the sense that it is still under active investigation (not uncommon for the exercise science field). For decades, people have been trying to figure out that perfect combination of weight and reps to maximize their #Gainz. So far the short answer is there is no perfect routine. However, I will take you through some of the current literature.
