Figuring out the right amount of weight is all in how you feel Let’s say for example you have to do 3 sets of 10 lat pull downs (the exercise in the video) You want to use a weight that has you feeling challenged around the last few reps of the set. This could be starting to feel the burn around rep 7 out of 10. You should need a rest between your sets. If you put the weights down & then jump back into your next set 10 seconds later - too light. If you complete all 10 reps, and can keep going for a few more reps no problem at all, also too light. If your form is being compromised - the weight you’re using doesn’t allow you to do the movement properly or you’re using other muscles that the exercise isn’t for - you’re going too heavy. An example of too heavy would be having to sway your whole body back and forth for a bicep curl If you are prescribed a set of 10, but can only complete 6-8 reps at the weight you’re using - too heavy. Something I commonly see … putting all set...
