“With Miriam s personal training skills and experience, I can honestly say I ve never felt as strong in all my life. Onwards and upwards!!”

The concept of effective reps refers to the concept that the reps which are closest to muscular failure contribute most toward increasing muscle size and strength (1); as muscle cross-sectional area influences its force generating capacity.

Henneman's Size Principle dictates that muscle fibers are recruited from slow (type 1) to fast (type 2b/x) (2) - fast twitch fibers being primarily responsible for gains in size and strength. Therefore, the closer a repetition is to failure, the better its potential for fiber recruitment, particularly of type 2 fibers.

Effective reps are maximized during high intensity training as each exercise is performed to muscular failure. Although research suggests similar gains can be made with lower intensity strength training, this method involves using higher training volume (3 x 10 reps at lower intensity (3); Low-intensity repetitions which do not meaningfully contribute toward developing strength or muscle, are known as junk volume.

By eliminating junk volume, you can get the same results in a fraction of the time.

"I’ve been with Miriam for the past 7 months one to one pt. It’s been so good to feel stronger each week.

Miriam is so easy to get along with, friendly, and approachable, which is exactly what I was looking for.

She works around my limitations but still somehow manages to push me.

I would recommend Miriam PT to anyone."
