Weight or cadence?
👆🏼 Lighter weights deliver results just as effectively as heavier weights. Yes! You read that right!
After all, “intensity,” which is our goal here, should be understood as a qualitative concept, where sets, reps, etc., together with other variables such as cadence, range of motion, and rest periods, will bring about acute changes in our body.
📌Always remember that every workout, when properly prescribed, aims to build lean muscle and lose fat.
💥What will enhance this or not is YOUR DIET 💥there’s no workout—when done properly, of course—that will “decrease” your lean muscle mass… believe me 🙏🏼
Training to failure
✔️Training to failure is the most important thing, because you can train with very heavy weights and low intensity and/or with light weights and high intensity!
Light weights also deliver great results
You don’t need very heavy weights to achieve muscle hypertrophy. That’s a myth, and it needs to be dispelled! By using the full range of motion and controlling the cadence, you can achieve great results.
You should always focus on performing full movements in your workout, because poor exercise form, combined with heavy weights, can cause serious injuries during training. And that’s not what you want, is it?
So always keep in mind that weight is not the main thing you should focus on during your workout.
Whenever I meet new clients, their main goal is to build lean muscle. Most of them start out thinking they need to lift heavy weights to do this. What many people don’t know is that it’s possible to achieve great results using light weights.
But how do you do that?
The expression intense training initially brings to mind the use of very heavy weights. Progressive loading is, in principle, essential for muscle hypertrophy.
