I've actually been curious about something. Does the phenomenon of the heavier, lower rep set being a more ideal stress for women extend in the other direction? Anyone who's been around gyms and people who lift have met guys who seem to have done extremely well even in terms of strength doing higher rep work. At the same time, one might encounter in their own training or see around the gym completely different results. I would often see huge, muscular guys in my gym, along with extremely average looking guys, both doing the same sort of training. Same exercise selection, same reps, same sets, same relative intensities, same training consistency. For the big guys it seemed to be working great. For the average guys it seemed like they were trying to strike a wet match, shit just wouldn't take. Is this potentially also caused by more gifted athletes actually being able to get a significant strength training stress out of higher rep work, the same way women with less neuromuscular efficiency require lower rep work for a similar training stress?
