What is the recommendation for number of sets and reps to improve endurance?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
When beginning an exercise program, one should start with 3 sets of 10 reps with a certain weight amount. The weight should be gradually increased so the muscles do not become accustomed to the amount of weight being used. After a period of time, the sets and repetitions can be increased to improve the results of the exercise.

What does bench press measure?
It depends on what you are measuring because there are two types of muscles. If you are maxing and do 1 rep, then you measure your muscles' explosive capacity. If you do several reps (>8) you train your endurance instead. There is a fine line between endurance and explosiveness, but generally you can say that if you train 1-6 reps, its more explosive training. If you train 12-20 or more than that you train endurance. Between 8-12 you train both.
Is Muscle Building a Slow Process?
it depends on how much weight your working out with. if you are using a weight that is challenging and only you can do 3 to 5 reps you are using the right weight if you want strength.. you should use low reps because it stimulates your muscle fibers faster and more rapidly then higher reps. higher reps=more muscle endurance, and more definition. Lower reps= strength and muscle mass. you will gain strength quicker with weight that you can only do low reps.

What are some benefits to Muscular Endurance?
Well, muscular endurance ensures that you are able to keep at certain exercises longer.

So the benefit of muscular endurance is pretty much that you can exercise more efficiently because you won't tire out so easily.
