even flexibility mobility training, especially with restraint training, just changing the novelty effect almost always, unless it's like crazy or terrible, almost always has a positive effect. So you could take almost... Anybody who's strength training, change a variable, like make the reps go high, make the reps go low. Yeah, how's that same go?

So when I look at like a strength training study, I always take it with a grain of salt because of the timeframe. And I'd like to see a study that's done for like a year or two years to make a determination. For example, a very commonly cited study statistics in strength training. And this is backed by many studies.

Although now we have so many studies that actually prove what I'm about to say, but you know, 10, 15, maybe 20 years ago, if somebody said, what's the best rep range to build muscle? Well, the studies were all showing eight to 12, eight to 12 was the hypertrophy range, right? Low reps, weren't as effective. High reps were definitely not as effective, but the studies were like 12 or 16 weeks long.

If you stretch that out long enough, you'll see that the eight to 12 reps really stops working and they have to switch out and move into a lower rep phase or a higher rep phase. It also didn't illustrate the fact that all the rep ranges built muscle. So it's not like eight to 12 built muscle. All the others did nothing. They all built muscle.

So then the thing to consider is, okay, when do I use each of those rep ranges? And as a trainer, when I train people, uh, you know, I noticed if I kept them in a rep range for too long, it would stop working. Didn't matter how great my programming was. One of the best things I could do would just change the rep range. Then you have to change the exercises or anything else.
