✨ How do you know if you are lifting heavy enough?
Whether you’re new to weight lifting or have been lifting for a while. Here’s a quick post to help you build lean muscle and reshape your body.
🏋🏼♀️ The last 2-3 reps of your set should be struggle, you shouldn’t be able to complete the full set with ease. If the set is do-able without a grimace, that’s a sure sign that you’re not lifting heavy enough.
🏋🏼♀️ You are stronger than you think ladies, especially our lower bodies. When we are new to weight lifting, FORM trumps weight lifted every time. Getting your technique right is what is important. Once we have that weights can be increased.
🏋🏼♀️ Rest - You should need the ‘rest’ or break between sets, ideally 30-60secs. During the set you shouldn’t be able to hold much of a conversation. Remember ladies, it’s not just men who need to grunt, grit teeth and forcefully exhale during a weights session. We can too 😮💨
So ladies it’s about progression. Up your weights, challenge yourself and maintain form 🏋🏼♀️
