Quality > quantity.
Junk reps costs us time—they can potentially drain recovery and increase injury risk
Quick rep audit:
- Can you feel the target muscle working? (If not, you’re just moving, not training.)
- Are you hitting full range of motion?
- Are you pausing for a clean half-second at the end range—or bouncing in and out?
- Do the last few reps feel hard enough that you naturally slow down and grit a little?
Did you know replacing junk reps with quality can halve or even quarter workout time?
If you had to rate your rep quality from 0–10…
0 = cardio with weights
10 = every rep firing the full forest of muscle fibers
Where would you score yourself and why?
