Can 3–5 Reps Build Both Strength and Muscle?
I'm curious about the overlap between strength and hypertrophy training. For example, I enjoy lower rep ranges like 3–5, yet people often emphasize higher ranges like 6–12+ for hypertrophy-focused training. This makes me wonder whether that distinction is truly important, or if it doesn’t matter as long as progressive overload is applied. Assuming I train close to or even to failure, would low rep ranges result in both strength and muscle gains?
