Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is an oversimplification. While the 1-5 rep range is primarily for strength, significant muscle growth (hypertrophy) still occurs, especially in the 6-8 rep range. As long as training volume is sufficient, even lower reps build muscle. The body recruits all muscle fibers (slow, intermediate, and fast) when lifting heavy loads. 🧠
