It’s always important to mention, even if it’s a 1000 times, that the load on an exercise (weight), should not only be chosen based on the number of reps you wish to hit in a set (nor for your ego…), but according to several conditions.

Load should be chosen according to 4 basic parameters:

– Number of sets;
– Number of reps;
–  Resistance on the concentric and/or eccentric portion of the movement;
– Rest time between sets.

This doesn’t mean that the load is unchangeable, but the load should always be adjusted according to whomever is using it. If it feels heavy, don’t be afraid to make the load lighter, or vice-versa.

If you respect these 4 parameters, you’ll get to know the true limits of your body. This way you’ll strengthen mind-muscle connection, which will allow greater performance in every exercise you do.

Don’t forget about the importance of discipline when you train. Read your body, interpret the small clues that it gives you and make way for evolution like you’ve never seen before.
