Training Tip Thursday: Heavy weight, light weight, low reps, high reps – how are you supposed to know when to do what and which to use to achieve specific results. Well, I’m going to make an assumption that most of you are just looking to “tone” your arms. Therefore, I would recommend higher reps (12-18) with lighter weight when preforming arm exercises, such as the above tricep movements. By doing higher reps, you are allowing for adequate blood flow into your muscles, thus, volumizing. However, lighter weights does not mean easy weight. If you find that at 15 reps, you are just starting/barely working your muscles, increase the weight!
