Hey hey, beautiful human!

You've seen workouts that say "3 sets of 10–12 reps"... but what does that actually mean? Should you stop at 10? Push to 12? Is one better than the other?

Let's clear this up once and for all.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how rep ranges work, what each one does for your body, and how to know if you're actually lifting the right amount of weight for the results you want. We'll get into:

• What different rep ranges do (4–6, 8–12, 15+)

• Why the 8–12 range is your sweet spot for lean muscle and body composition

• How to know if it's time to increase weight, reps, or change your approach

• What it means to train to failure, and why it matters more than just hitting a number

• How small tweaks in your reps and load can unlock bigger progress

I also share what I personally program inside Movement With Julie, and how you can use this info to feel more confident and strategic every time you lift.

And if you've been wondering, "Am I challenging myself enough to see change?" this episode will give you your answer.
