How many repetitions should be done of each muscular strength and endurance exercise?

For experienced lifters who want to improve their muscular strength, aim for 8–12 reps per set for 2–4 sets, with a 2- to 3-minute rest between sets. To improve your muscular endurance, do 15–20 repetitions at no more than 50% of your 1RM, with a 2- to 3-minute rest between every one or two sets.

What are the repetition guidelines for muscular strength?

Aim to lift each weight for 8 to 15 repetitions (or “reps”), which equals one set. In general, more reps (about 10 to 15), and therefore lighter weights, are needed for general fitness and endurance. To build strength and muscle mass, aim for fewer reps (about 8 to 10) and use heavier weights.
