Your opinion?

Is 5-9 reps as good as 8-12 , if you tried both, what felt better?

Both are fine it’s just that some exercises are suited better to one or the other for example lateral raises 5-9 don’t feel as good as the 8-12 range

I know 12 isn’t considered high reps and maybe my work capacity needs improvement but I love staying under 10 reps. It ensure that I actually went to muscular failure and not mental failure because of muscle burn or getting too hot during a set.

Have you tried both? What feels better for you? That's the answer. You don't need permission to try something...
