Mine is leg lifts to strengthen my legs. I came through the fact that leg strength is the most important part of many exercises and it helps a lot in improving the balance and flexibility.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

A repetition is a unit of time, nothing more. You see 100 reps. I see 3 minutes of TUT on a target muscle. An increase in TUT on a target muscle is favorable towards growth. To complete a high repetition set, such as 100 repetitions, one must choose a resistance far lesser than, lets say 25 reps. This drastic reduction in resistance use to perform 100 reps would negate the full effect garnered towards hypertrophy from this increase in TUT. The two variables that matter in creating new muscle are the amount of resistance use and the percentage of tension captured per unit of time of a repetition directed on the target muscle. Finn is correct in questioning the legitimacy of value in performing 100 repetition sets.

If you don't agree with what I said go ahead and point out where I was wrong. I'm not claiming to know everything and I am more than happy to learn more.
Now, get over it already.

That being said, let's move on already...

Which is kinda silly analogy because most of us are not constrained to doing only one exercise.

Well just constantly coming up with some new weird ideas doesn't always work either. And you didn't even explain what's so magical about your 300 rep sets, not to mention you didn't even explain what's the point of all that. How is that superior to 100 reps or 50 or 20?
Let me tell you, going to such extremes is completely unnecessary and pointless, unless you are training for a marathon.

You seriously think it takes that much to "shock" (whatever that means) the muscle. You don't need to "shock" the muscles to make them grow...

So can you give me one good reason why anyone would do 300 rep sets? And why is that so much better than 30 reps or 100 or 150?
And how the hell are you gonna track your progress doing that, not to talk about how to even keep making progress doing something like that. That's just ridiculous.
You'd benefit much more breaking all that junk volume down to multiple sets/workouts.

I am not saying you shouldn't incorporate multiple rep ranges but at some point you just have to draw a line. And if you are doing 300 rep sets my question would be why would you do that? What's the benefit? I mean if you do a 300 rep sets how many of those reps are actually going to even be effective?

I mean I don't believe in fixed rep ranges either and science also backs this up pretty well.
