Same stimulus. Different loads. Exactly as intended.
Look down any class throughout the day, and you’ll rarely see the exact same weight on every barbell.

• PVC pipes, empty bars, and training plates to master bar path and shoulder position
• Moderate loads to build aerobic power under fatigue
• Heavier sets for athletes working top-end barbell efficiency

Mechanics first, then learn to be consistent, then add the intensity.
