    Guy A is strong and he does Regular Training

    He does Dumbell curls for 40kg (88 LBS) he maxes at "3 reps" and can't do anymore

    But Guy B comes along and does 80 reps with (40kg) (88LBS)

    Both are lifting Very Heavy Weight for Curls,

    What is the conditioning difference?

    I made this topic because people say High reps with Light Weights don't work on strength.

    But what about High Reps with Heavy weights or medium Weights there isnt much info about this....

    You can't do high reps with high weights, because if you can the weight isn't really high :huh

    No Because 88lbs (40kg) is universally Very Heavy for dumbell curls....

    you cannot say thats a light weight even if you do high reps with it..
