If you’re not sure which program works best for your goals, head over here and see which one is the best one for you now.
How many sets and reps are actually “enough” to build strength, muscle, or conditioning?
3x10?
5x5?
More volume?
More intensity?
A lot of men over 40 start asking those questions the moment they move away from rigid “cookie cutter” programs and start learning how to autoregulate their training.
And honestly?
That uncertainty can feel uncomfortable at first.
Because suddenly there are no guardrails.
In this video, I break down 3 practical ways to figure out how much work is ACTUALLY enough for your goals:
• Prilepin’s Table and what Soviet Olympic lifters discovered about optimal reps
• The rep ranges I’ve used for the last 20+ years for strength, muscle, and conditioning
• Why your training journal may be the most important programming tool you own
I also cover:
• Why “excellent reps” matter more than total reps
• When to stop a set
• Why bell speed matters
• How to autoregulate your training intelligently
• The biggest mistake most men make with volume
• Why tracking your workouts changes everything long term
Because the truth is:
There is no “perfect” number of reps for everyone.
There’s only the amount YOUR body responds best to.
And the only way you discover that?
By training intelligently and documenting your work over time.
If you’re tired of guessing with your workouts and want a smarter approach to kettlebell training, strength, and longevity, this video will help.
Stay Strong,
