[quote=Anonymous]Heavy is relative. I’m 5’1 and 104 lbs but I do upper body lifts with 15,20,25,35 lbs weights. Right now, that’s heavy for me. My form is impeccable so a few sets of perfect bicep curls with 20 lb dbs is “lifting heavy.” Took me years to get here and eventually it wouldn’t be heavy for me anymore and I’d need to increase my weights. Lower body is the same but much heavier weights. Lift heavy means use as heavy a weight as you can for that movement *with perfect form*. Once you can do a movement at a certain weight with perfect form for 12+ reps, you increase the weight and lower the reps until you build up to 12 again. It takes years and years. [/quote]
