Use 1–6 Repetition Range for Strength

For strength, stick to the 1–6 rep range, with 3s and 4s predominating. Fours, especially 5s and 6s, are highlighted as useful for combined strength and hypertrophy; training with 5s was suggested as a simple way to gain both muscle and strength.

Soviets eventually came to the conclusion that for strength, you should stick in the one to six repetition range... Threes and fours should predominate.
