you're probably best off just using a variety of rep ranges.

One, that keeps it fun and exciting and novel.

And two, it means if there are subtle differences between those rep ranges, you're experiencing some of the benefits from each.

So I just tell people, you know, variety is the spice of life when it comes to training.

There's some evidence that yo-yo dieting in particular, where you're losing weight, gaining weight, losing weight, gaining weight.

And I'm not talking about like bodybuilders who do like specified slow gains in body mass, followed by targeted cuts in fat mass.

Because they're, again, they're resistance training, they're building lean mass, and they're slowly stripping away fat mass and preserving lean mass.

I'm talking about people who aren't really resistance training or they're not really doing it right.

They're not eating a high protein diet.

They're...

trying to lose fat as quickly as they can.

And we know from research studies, if you are not resistance training, you're not watching your protein and you're trying to lose fat really quickly.

I mean, you can lose up to half of the amount of weight you lose from lean mass.

And then when you regain it, the research shows you do regain some lean mass, but the regaining of lean mass is very sluggish compared to fat mass.

Fat mass goes up much more rapidly, especially if you regain very quickly.

And so what you can have happen through multiple cycles of this is a person getting less and less lean mass, more and more fat mass, which means, one, less of a metabolic sink, two,

worse health outcomes, and three, a lower metabolic rate overall.

And so long-term, your capacity to actually get better body composition gets worse and worse.

Now, the great thing is you can correct this.

You don't break your body.
