[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, heavy lifting is defined by my reps. I usually do 3 sets. Set 1 I aim for 8-10. Set 2, 6-8. Set 3, 4-6. By the last rep, I am struggling to keep my form in place.[/quote] It’s this. It has nothing to do with the amount of weight itself. [/quote] Can you expand on this? Surely the amount of weight matters a little? I mean I could do the above reps with 2 lb weights and I would not struggle with the last reps. So the amount of weight is relevant, yes?[/quote] I’m not the person who wrote that but what they mean is that the weight you use should be hard to do the 3rd set, so whatever that is for you. Also, I’m 50 and 5’1–I only used to use 5-8lbs and now I use 15-20lbs. You’ll start to see your strength increase [/quote]
