^^This. I usually use 50+ on my back for squats, 25+ for bicep curls. I work to failure. I experience DOMS. When I was powerlifting and following a pyramid set/rep plan, my body changed much slower than it has with BodyPump. Just make sure you do lift as heavy as you are confident with (not going so heavy that your form is…
