Well I ended up being struck down with a virus over Christmas so your boy is back in the shed today doing some benching.

I know I could probably google this answer but I rather ask you guys.

High rep and low weight vs low rep and high weight when it comes to dumbell arm curls, what's the benefit of doing high rep? Is it just for maintenance?

for me, heavy weight on single joint movements is too hard on my joints.

These past couple of days, I've worked on stretching my gut out, filling it with cheeses, snacks and candies.. just far too much food in general.

I feel like I'm gaining mass 💪

You should be doing both.

Generally the lower you go it's optimal for strength and the higher is optimal for endurance and stamina.

Use common sense BTW, if your joints or bones are hurting it's time to lower the weight until you can go heavy again.

Ideal rep range is between 8-12 if you're trying to grow the muscle, 8-12 is neither neither high nor low.

Switch it up every now and then and do sets of 15+ reps and sets of 3-5 but don't compromise on form.

GOOD.

Now lift.

Does Mrs. Guybrush think you've got beefier since you started working out?

Yes, absolutely. She commented on it not that long ago.

She also wants to get started, but she's much less disciplined than I am and finds it very hard to stick to anything that doesn't just happen naturally.
