I have a question regarding the repetition upper body day in this program. DeFranco says “choose one of the following exercises and perform 3 sets of max reps or 4 sets of 12-15 reps.” If I do the max reps option, is there a certain amount of reps that I should aim for?

Thanks

It depends, if you’re doing bodyweight exercises like dips or push ups with chains it’s obviously as many reps as you can. Otherwise just grab a pair of dumbbells that you know you can get at least 10-20 reps with and go nuts. In the end it doesn’t really matter as long as it’s high rep work.

I always shot for 20 when I did WS4SB.
I don’t know, worked for me.

Whenever I could do more than twenty, I would up the weight.

I did this as well. If I could get 1 set over 20, and the others over 15 or 16, I’d up the weight 5lbs (on dumbells).
