[quote=Anonymous][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] Yes, but that's specific to you. People are answering the question as a small woman that lifts heavy. But what "heavy" is is different by person. When you get to fatigue is heavy for you. If you're just starting out, maybe 2lbs is heavy. If you've been at this a while, maybe 20lbs is heavy for you.[/quote] This exactly. [/quote]
