Whether you lift light weights with lots of reps or heavy weights with few reps—so long as you push until you can’t do another rep—you’ll build muscle about the same amount.

If you lift weights until you can’t do another rep, it doesn’t matter if you’re using light, medium, or heavy weights—you’ll still grow your muscles about the same, as long as you push yourself hard and do enough total work.

Lifting light weights until you can't do another rep builds muscle just as well as lifting light weights until your speed slows down a lot, as long as you do the same total amount of work.

Whether you lift heavy weights with fewer reps or light weights with more reps—as long as you push until you can’t do another rep—your muscles grow about the same amount.

If you lift weights until you can’t do another rep—whether you use heavy weights or light ones—you’ll end up with about the same muscle growth after nine weeks, as long as you’re putting in the same effort and number of reps.

If you lift weights until you can’t do another rep, your muscles will grow about the same no matter how heavy the weights are—but you’ll get stronger faster if you lift heavier weights.
