What's your opinion on straight sets (3x8) vs rep ranges (3x8-12)

I'm no professional but I'd say rather insignificant differences. One could argue more sarcoplasmic hypertrophy with the 12 rep of course.

To me the main differences would be psychological. 8-12 u might tell yourself if u don't get 12 ur a lil bich. Other days u have the I don't feel great attitude and do 8 reps.

For me I put exercises on the lower range of hypertrophy if I don't enjoy them or like doing more weight with them. Higher range for exercises I enjoy more lmao

More to the rep ranges 8-12. It could come in more handy to properly gauge progressive overload and move up if you say got 12 reps on each set for the next week
