Lighter or heavier? Most people guess. Here's how to actually decide 👇

⚠️ Before you add a plate, run four checks, in order:

1️⃣ Is your form perfect? If not, go lighter.
2️⃣ Are you using the full range of motion? If not, go lighter.
3️⃣ Do you control the weight on the way up AND on the way down? If not, go lighter.
4️⃣ Are you hitting your rep range? Below it → lighter. Inside it → stay. Above it → this is your green light to go heavier.

Notice that three of the four answers say "lighter." 🔎
Going heavier is earned, not assumed. 
The weight on the bar should never decide for you.

Save this for your next session and run the checks before every weight change. 

If one of these called you out, that's the one to fix this week.💪
