5 – 7 Reps: High Tension (Pull-ups & Chin-ups)
Lifting 100% of your body weight requires intense neuromuscular output. 5–7 clean reps build strength without breaking shoulder form.
8 – 12 Reps: Hypertrophy (Push-ups & Legs)
Optimal time-under-tension for chest, tricep, and quad micro-trauma, driving muscular fullness with safe joint loading.
12 – 20+ Reps / Holds: Tendon Armor & Rehab
Postural stabilizers (VMO quad, forearm extensors, lower traps) respond best to high-volume slow-twitch blood flow and collagen remodeling.
