Why should I be stronger when I train only for myself. I prefer to do 15 to 20 repetitions and feel the muscles to the max, perform movements correctly and build endurance, which translates into sculpture and beautiful definitions, which translates into mega good results in the future, even if I wanted to change the number of repetitions to less, but why do I prefer it after a while increasing the weight while maintaining 15 repetitions being sure that my repetitions are 100% correct and the muscles and blood are pumped to the max and it gives me twice as much self-confidence because I don't feel like an elephant but like an athlete
Personally, i prefer lighter weights. It just makes sense to me, to greatly reduce the risk of injury AND get the same results. Who cares if it takes a lot longer!? I'm in no rush, why force it? 🙂👍🤘
@@Ont785I’ve just started doing the Mike mentzer HIT wow ! Since I don’t have a spotter as I workout at home ,I used dumbbells with a very slow negative .it works for me - squats are torture of course .
@@BigBoaby-sg1yo I used to have a full set of dumbbells for the home gym, and it was fantastic. The only reason I started going to the gym again, was the set of 100 pound dumbbells was insane. I think you absolutely need to capture the negatives. Sounds like you have a really good set up
@@Ont785 yes indeed the negative is the real work and you can take yourself to failure . I sometimes used to train chest every day - if not benching it was pecdeck with high reps , but in the past six month doing Mike mentzer , I am far more vascular and have cuts that either I did not have or did not notice . Using HIT - say close grip dumbbell press ,I am done in after 15 mins, its 4 sets of between 5 and 7 reps ,but making the negative last 20 seconds . I also do isometrics using the bullworker steel and the isobow . I don’t think I’ll go back to multiple reps and sets as getting to an age where joint health needs to be considered. Train safe 👍
@@BigBoaby-sg1yo Hmmm… I’m 58 . I still do a lot of strength training, everything seems to be working like it’s supposed to! Knock on wood. Somebody’s got to show the young bucks how to train properly ! Cheees
I do use heavy weights but you need to warm up well plus hold onto proper form and technique.

You don’t get the same results.
You will never get as strong.
If your desire is just to have a certain body image; then do whatever you want.
