The 6-15 rep range for hypertrophy offers benefits such as accumulating metabolic fatigue and using relatively heavy loads.

“I also noticed that when returning to higher repetitions for resistance training, so after 12 weeks shifting away from 3 to 5 repetition ranges and going back to training in the 6 to 10 repetition ranges mainly. Occasionally up to 12 or 15 but really mainly restricting to 6 to 10 repetitions that you can move much heavier weights in good form, and thereby induce more hypertrophy while still also continuing to gain some strength.”

“and thereby induce more hypertrophy while still also continuing to gain some strength. And another benefit was again reduced soreness compared to when training with higher repetition ranges and more mental freshness, I guess the only way to describe it, when training in those lower repetition ranges.”

“and what I will say is there you know there are benefits to being in that hypertrophy rep range of you know six to 15 reps that's kind of like traditional um so here here's here's the benefits and downsides one of the nice things about the 6 to 15 reps is you can accumulate quite a bit of metabolic fatigue you can use relatively heavy loads”
