Do you guys ever mix rep ranges for on the same exercise? For example:
Set 1: Low reps (4-6)
Set 2: Moderate reps (8–12)
Set 3: High reps (15–20)
Set 4: Moderate reps (8–12)
The reason I ask is that from what I've read, each rep range grows muscle in different ways, so combining them in the same workout could increase muscle stimulation and growth:
—low reps provides optimal strength gains and myofibrillar hypertrophy
—moderate reps combines myofibrillar hypertrophy and sacroplasmic hypertrophy
—high reps generates increase protein synthesis and sacroplasmic hypertrophy
Is there a reason this wouldn't be a good idea?
