One of the most common questions I get asked is “what weight should I be lifting” / “how do I know when to increase the weight?”⠀ ⠀ Hit LIKE and SAVE… Workout deets below 👇🏻 ⠀ The 2 worst things I did when I started my fitness journey was 1. Avoiding the weight room and prioritizing cardio- based exercise 2. Never having a set plan and just doing random workouts I could find 😬 ⠀ ⠀ Before I had NO idea that there was science and rationale behind an effective workout program either 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀ SO this question is more complex than most people realize because there is more than one way to stimulate muscle growth and “get tone” beyond just going heavier. ⠀ ⠀ Other methods are:⠀ -pre-fatigue exercises ⠀ -tempo changes⠀ -reduced rest times ⠀ -increasing over all volume⠀ -changing hand/foot positioning ⠀⠀ ⠀ To understand how much weight you should lift to get results, it really matters to know what you’ve been doing consistently. Make sense? ⠀ This is also why I have my clients log their weight used for each exercise/workout in our TeamVSF App so I can review their progress. ⠀ ⠀ You want to be consistent with your training and intentional about increasing the amount you lift over time even if it’s just by 5% a month.⠀ ⠀ 💪🏼WORKOUT RECAP:⠀ ⠀ Superset 8-12 reps ⠀ A1: Landmine Romanian Deadlift (toes out) ⠀ A2: Landmine Front Squats (toes out)⠀ ⠀ Giant Set 10 reps ⠀ B1: Deficit Reverse Lunges⠀ B2: B Stance One Leg Romanian Deadlift⠀ B3: Jump Lunges / per leg⠀ ⠀ Superset ⠀ C1: 1-1/4 Barbell Stationary Lunge 8 reps⠀ C2: Bodyweight Stationary Lunge 30 seconds ⠀ ⠀ D1: Band Seated Abduction 30 reps ⠀ ⠀ 🔥 My legs are jello after this one 😅 ⠀ Beginners do 1-2 sets⠀ Intermediate level do 3-4 sets ⠀ ⠀ Remember… #1 you cannot progress if you keep doing the same thing over and over again. Start to get out of your comfort zone. And #2 you wont see defined muscle until you get your diet right. I cannot emphasize this enough.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⁉️ Do you have weight training, fat loss or muscle building questions… let me know in the comments 👇🏻⠀ ⠀ ❤️@sixpackchick⠀
