High Reps or Low Reps When Trying to Achieve Muscle Tone?
The question in the title of this post is one that I have probably heard more than any other in the past five or so years. And the answer I give usually shocks people. Most think the exact opposite of what I tell them. Then when I ask them why they thought what they did they really have no answer.
