What the video covers

Is there a magic number of reps? 5-30 reps build muscle if you get close to failure (Schoenfeld et al., 2017). 20% of 1RM fell short in Lasevicius's trial (Lasevicius et al., 2018). 8-15 reps: the most practical range for most people. 3×10 is convenient, not magic. The video ends by showing how to create the routine in Progrevia.
