Prilepin was a USSR weightlifting coach who studied the training habits of the most successful lifters
Finding what percentages, sets and reps they used to optimise training
Prilepin research founded this table
He found that if lifters used a higher rep range than the recommended number of reps per set, their technique and power output would drop, reducing the effectivenes of their work out
If they performed an excessive number of total repetitions, the athlete would not be able to recover in time for the next session
For athletes this is an useful tool for your compound strength work
However, I’d start off with the lower side of the ‘range of reps’
Unlike weightlifters you have your sport and numerous other training variables to consider
