different rep range for different excercises/bodyparts

[Bluto]

im a big fan of low reps, 5-6 or so

however, there's certain exercises that i feel i need to go higher like i feel leg extensions i rather rep out higher, or walking lunges would feel stupid with just going 5 reps

shoulders i got mixed feelings about, to avoid injuries it make sense to keep the rep range a little higher, still sometimes it feels banging out 5-6 reps just in say military presses might just be what the shoulders need to grow

i feel in general people do the same no of reps all across the board and maybe they shouldnt

I almost always do higher reps for my lower body (except sometimes on the big exercises like squats and SLDLs)...walking lunges, leg extensions, hammy curls get higher reps. 
And calves for sure respond better to higher reps. 
Abs do as well.

I'm pretty much about higher reps for everything - 10 reps a set minimum irrespective of whether it is for upper or lower body. For legs I tend to stay around 15 reps a set.

you better off using both high reps and low reps.

but for the most pasrt...using a weight where you reach total failure at about 8-12 reps is ideal for hypertrophy

I've always had best results pyramiding up in weight.....


but what do I know,I'm just a wimp !

that's alright not all men can be beasts like me

I usually train arms with lower reps.

High reps and lots of sets for chest and back (but that's just because I don't have enough weight to train them with low reps).

My lats,quads,delts and triceps seem to respond better to higher reps,though at times,I still do lower reps for these areas.

If you're periodizing then automatically your rep range will change no matter what bodypart you're working. The question will be: are there exercises better suited for lower rep ranges? I'd say yes. Compound movements are better suited for low rep ranges IMHO (Lower meaning heavier also). If I'm doing higher volume, I'll tend to be more analitycal and go for movements which allow me to isolate certain muscles or even certain muscle parts (like post delts for example). Of course, this is prettay academic and there are already a few exceptions I can think about.

for once i agree w the candi.

do your warmups, then hit some low reps for a few sets on whatever exercise.  then end the exercise w a burn out of higher reps at a lighter weight
