Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: This is incorrect. 🧐 Scientific literature consistently shows that low-rep training (in the 1-8 rep range) is highly effective for building muscle, a process called hypertrophy. This range is optimal for building maximal strength, and as long as sets are taken close to muscular failure and total training volume is sufficient, it stimulates muscle growth very well. It's particularly good at recruiting Type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibers, which have a high potential for growth.
