313. How Many Sets and Reps are Ideal for Building Muscle and Getting Stronger?

Self Care Simplified

We’ve been talking a LOT about strength training on the show recently.

• Tuesday we had a great episode about how to get started with strength training
• A few weeks ago, I had Lesley McShane on the show talking about the 6 Big Lies about Weightlifting
• Back on episode 303, I broke down how to know how much weight you should lift

But there are still so many questions out there about putting all this advice into practice.

For instance, listener Maria asks: “Can I ask about building up your muscles? You mentioned hitting about eight reps. Eight to twelve reps? How many sets? Just one set? Thanks!”

Great question, Maria!

In this quick episode, I talk about the most efficient way to build muscle, how to maximize the effectiveness of your strength workout, and at what point more isn’t necessarily better.

If you can only make ONE goal for yourself in the New Year, let it be to build muscle - and this episode will help you reach that goal!
