Description
One of the top questions that people new to weight training struggle with is how much weight should they actually be lifting. In this episode, I go over how to choose your starting weight for a new exercise and when to progress to a higher weight. I am using rep ranges as a tool here as I feel it is the easiest to understand and follow for those who are starting out weight training.
In addition, I review the concept of progressive overload and why you should apply progressive overload and how to do it in practice.
So you'll get answers to the following questions:
- What weight should I start with?
- When should I increase the weight I'm lifting?
- What is progressive overload?
- How do I apply progressive overload in practice?
- How do I work with rep ranges?
Happy lifting!
