We know that GENERALLY:
Low reps (~1-3) Heavy weight (~>90%) = Strength
Moderate reps (~8-12) Moderate weight (~70%) = Hypertrophy
High reps (~20+) Light weight (~<60%) = Local muscular endurance
(these numbers are not EXACT, but to give you an idea of what I'm talking about.)
Now to the question:
I've been doing chinups 3 x failure. This is what my chin reps look like: 1x10, 1x6, 1x4 all to failure. What exactly does each set improve on the most? Hypertrophy, strength, muscle endurance?
