Episode 3498: Mark Fisher answers the question every lifter eventually asks: how heavy should the weight actually be? He explains what different rep ranges do to your body, why fat loss still comes down to nutrition first, and how to stack heavy sets and moderate sets inside a single workout when time is short. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://markfisherfitness.com/how-heavy-a-weight-should-you-use/ Quotes to ponder: "Assuming your lifting technique stays solid, the easiest way to discuss weight is in terms of how many reps you can lift before your technique fails." "Classically, weights that you can lift for 1-5 repetitions will make you stronger, weights that you can lift for 6-12 repetitions will make your muscles grow, and weights that you lift for 13 or more reps will train your muscular endurance." "Fat loss is always predominately created by your nutrition."
