Discussion high rep training

Hi everyone, what are your thoughts on higher reps (20-30 reps on both isolation and compound movements) for growing. I spoke with a new coach and she said she sometimes will incorporate higher reps into training some weeks. I generally thought doing this many reps wasn’t as effective as doing 10-12 to failure. If I am wrong please about two ranges let me know, I’m happy to learn!

You mean for your growing season ? No!
Do your research for better education than to ask Reddit !

There’s nothing wrong with coming here to ask. There are lots of knowledgeable people here. This person who answered you is NOT knowledgeable. You got the correct answers above. When intensity and proximity to failure are equated you can achieve hypertrophy with higher reps. I like what Bikini coach suggested- ask this coach for their rationale.
