If 30 reps can build muscle why not just use an empty bar?

It's way more comfortable going to failure with 5-6 reps than 30 reps

Mike Tyson did 2000 body weight squats per day.

That sounds like a hushed waste of time

Do you have anything better to do in prison?

Doesnt work like that
Hypertrophy doesnt occur in all rep ranges
>>
>>77251482
Because it primarily occurs on type 1 fibers in that range which don't blow up the way type 2 do.

The biggest reason through is connective tissue. For whatever reason our connective tissues tend to fortify the most in the 8-12 rep range. Overuse or overloading (or doing it excessively fast or with bad form) both move it towards tendonopathy. Within the realm of tendonopathy there's layer of reactive tendonopathy that just goes away with rest and below that there's degenerative tendonopathy. So if you do a lot outside sound loading and get a reactive tendonopathy, then don't stop you can push towards degenerative. Which won't heal on its own and takes specific rehabilitation work to get it back to there.

So regardless of what you're doing the majority of your work in lifting should be moderate rep ranges and well rested.
