Hello everyone, today I want to start this post in a slightly different way.
I’m going to take my shirt off, not to show off, but to show you what I’ve accomplished with my training.
I’m going to talk about rep ranges and muscle hypertrophy, focusing on how the Bilbo Method has influenced my results. And how to Maximize Hypertrophy with Repetitions:
As you will see, I have placed special emphasis on my pec, but I have applied this method to all of my training.

So, let’s dive into this fascinating world!
The Bilbo Method and its Impact on Muscle Hypertrophy
I have always focused a lot on the pectoral, and this has led me to have some disproportion, but I have applied the Bilbo method to all my training.
This extremely high-repetition approach has been a revelation to me. It’s not just about doing a lot of repetitions; it’s the quality of those repetitions that really counts.
And I can assure you that this method has been a game changer for my muscle development.

Repetition Ranges: Breaking Myths
Let’s talk about something that always generates debate: repetition ranges for hypertrophy.
The common belief is that you need to keep your reps between certain numbers to build muscle. But what if I told you that the time you spend on each set might be more important?

In my experience, performing high intensity Sets of 35 to 45 seconds has been crucial. I have achieved impressive results by maintaining this time range, regardless of the weight I lift. And I’m calculating my 1RM with the RM max repetition calculator.
Beyond Science: A Personal Perspective
I am not a scientist, but what I have is real, tangible experience. Over the years, I have seen many theories and methods, but what I present to you is my lived truth.
I’m a natural bodybuilder, I’ve never taken substances and I’ve improved steadily. And when I applied the Bilbo Method my progression led me to lift up to 240kg, which is my best lift. Carried out in 2023 at the age of 46.
This is something that should be of interest to anyone passionate about sports science.
My Personal Record and Practical Tips
I want to share with you my personal record: lifting 80 kilos in bench press with the Bilbo method. This isn’t just about lifting heavy; it’s about lifting smart.
The key is in the timing and intensity of the Sets. This way of training has revolutionized my strength and physique. This example of Maximizing Hypertrophy with Repetitions:

Conclusion:
Folks, I hope this glimpse into my approach to strength and hypertrophy training has been helpful to you. It’s not just about following traditional methods; it’s about finding what really works for you.
The Bilbo Method has been my key to unlocking a new level of muscle hypertrophy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
- What is the Bilbo method and how does it affect hypertrophy? It is a training approach based on high repetitions within a specific time range, focused on maximizing muscle hypertrophy.
- What is the optimal range of repetitions for hypertrophy? It’s not just about the number of reps, it’s about maintaining an intense set for 35 to 45 seconds.
- Can I apply the Bilbo method as a beginner? Absolutely, but it is crucial to start with manageable weights and focus on form and technique.

What is the best range of repetitions for hypertrophy?
The number of repetitions for hypertrophy is a key factor in any training program. To achieve optimal muscle growth, it is essential to find the balance between load and volume of work.
Muscle hypertrophy and repetitions: how the number of Sets influences the number of sets
The concept of muscle hypertrophy and repetitions has evolved over time. While some trainers recommend short sets with high weights, others advocate hypertrophy with high reps and low weights as an effective alternative to stimulate muscle growth.
Repetition range for hypertrophy: what does the science say?
The range of repetitions for hypertrophy varies depending on the intensity and goal of the training. In general, a range of 6 to 12 repetitions is considered ideal for maximizing muscle growth, although strategies such as resistance training can also promote muscle development.
Hypertrophy and repetitions: keys to an effective routine
To achieve effective hypertrophy, it is not only the number of repetitions that matters, but also the intensity, technique and progression of the training. Adapting the hypertrophy range to individual needs is essential for the best long-term results.
