The average lifter chooses to lift around 50% of
their 1RM for around 10 reps, according to a recent
meta-analysis. So if someone could lift 200 Ibs for
one rep, they'd select 100 Ibs for a set of 10 reps.
With this load, they're leaving around 10 reps in the
tank- meaning they could do 10 more reps if they
went all out (to failure).
This is the main reason why people don't tend to
see much results in the weight room. They just don't
train very hard.
If you want to build an appreciable amount of
muscle, you have to train a lot harder than you think
and push it a lot harder than the average lifter.
