[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Naive question: is there a lot of additional benefit to lifting heavy vs. regular light weights (I do 5-6 days per week of Bar Method with 3 and 4lb weights). [/quote] This is [b]11/28/2022 09:38[/b] - I did BM for several years then switched to Barre3 which I love because it's more challenging than BM. That said after about 10 years of barre 4x's a week, I realized that it was no longer challenging and that I was no longer making improvements. I even bumped up to 5lbs weights but all that did was injure my shoulder due to the quick movements we do in class with those weights. Barre is great but it is just not enough for muscle building (and bone strength). I still do it twice a week, but mostly for the stretching, balance, and social aspects. You have to lift heavy, no way around it. [/quote]
