I just had a client with an annulear tear who decided to go to the gym and do about 50 fast lunges. I’d like to have a video of that…

Your method of 3 slow reps is good especially if you are new to exercise. And yes it is true, I laugh to myself when I hear the trainers in the gym counting 14, 15 now rest. With all there clients! The rule is if you are trying to put on size your reps are low and the weight is heavy, but that doesnt mean your suppose to be in pain and agony,lol. Like I see some people in the gym that cant even rep out the 3 rep with out help. Well they will be seeing us in a few weeks. For maintaining 12-15 reps depending on how you feel just like you mentioned. The most important thing is to listen to your body, if your not a bodybuilder or a professional athlete take it slow and be consistent. Age is also a factor and the clients past history with working out and sports activities. I prefer your answer to what i commonly hear in the gym. I enjoy your blogs 😉
