When you think about weightlifting, you likely associate it with building strength and muscle.

According to Dr. Bohl, there are two ways it’s possible for you to go about this.

The first way is to perform more reps within each set you do.

Typically, this can only be accomplished if you work out with less weight.

For example, you build strength by using heavier weights and performing lower reps.

Endurance, however, is achieved by using lower weights and doing more reps.

The second way toboost your muscular enduranceis by lowering your rest time in between each set.

One big benefit of performing muscular endurance exercises is that you don’t need any fancy equipment.

The moves are actually pretty simple, and you’ve likely done them before without even realizing the benefits!

Switching things up with your muscular endurance routine is simple.

What’s a superset?

It’s performing two exercises, one after the other, without taking a break.
