I’m a sucker for a set of squats with descending reps & increasing weight🤌🏽 But how do I choose the weight I’m going to lift??? Based on FEEL!! Some days I feel stronger or weaker than others so I prefer to choose my weight based on how the reps feel; but I still keep track of the weights I’m lifting and I make sure to apply progressive overload over time! My rule of thumb when choosing weight is to use a weight where your last 1-2 reps of each set are more difficult and slower than your first 1-2 reps of the set, but still doable with near perfect form!! Form is key!!! If you’re someone who struggles to choose a weight that’s challenging enough, think of this tip and maybe even record yourself for a set to see how those last few reps look compared to your first few!! #personaltrainer #explore #fitnessmotivation #fitness #workout #lift #tipsandtricks #tips
