    Low weights and more reps.... is Correct!!!:smile: You don't want to injure yourself... so always "build up" to the heavier weights.:wink: You want to train your muscles not "strain" your muscles.:wink: less weights and more reps is nearly equivalent to lifting heavy weights with less reps (without the risk of injury from over doing it). Also, remember to use the proper technique when lifting....:happy: Have Fun!:glasses:

    Lots of people say low reps/heavy weight. I'm guessing low reps is 8-10 reps, but how would you figure out if the weight your lifting is heavy enough? How do you find the right weight without going to low or hurting yourself?

    no, when i say low reps/heavy weight, i mean 3-6 reps. Right now, i'm lifting to wear i'm not entirely sure if i will be able to complete my 5th rep. Obviously you don't start out like that, but you work up to it. 8-12 is for hypertrophy
