Training for Size Versus Training for Strength

December 27, 2022 By Dave DePew Leave a Comment

Training for size and training for strength are two different approaches to exercise that have different goals and require different types of workouts. Here’s a brief overview of the main differences between the two:

Training for size (also known as hypertrophy training):

  • The goal of training for size is to increase muscle mass through a combination of strength training and nutrition.
  • Training for size typically involves using moderate to high reps (8-12 reps per set) with moderate to heavy weights.
  • Rest periods between sets are generally shorter (30-60 seconds) to help keep the intensity high.

Training for strength:

  • The goal of training for strength is to increase the amount of weight that can be lifted for a given exercise.
  • Training for strength typically involves using low reps (1-5 reps per set) with very heavy weights.
  • Rest periods between sets are generally longer (2-5 minutes) to allow for adequate recovery.

Both training for size and training for strength can be effective approaches to exercise, and the best approach will depend on your individual goals and needs.
