A swears by singles. However, world champion B believes singles are a waste of time, strength is not built by rep schemes lower than 5's. World champion C believes in something in between. I hope this article will provide you with an approach that will enable you to use singles to your best advantage. To start off, each lifter reacts differently to training as any person reacts to any type of stimulus.
Some people believe they gain better under one type of rep scheme over another.
This could be because of many reasons. I've read such high-tech explanations that certain lifters can activate more muscle nerve fibers simultaneously than other lifters. At least this sounds good. Some lifters have mental aversions concerning singles. Liters who can deal with max weights and new personal records on a consistent basis, obviously stand a better chance of extracting more from their use.
