A wee note about the idea of training with "heavy" weights...

Remember to factor in your own LBM when deciding if you are lifting 'heavy' or not. 'Heavy' for the buffest dudes in the gym is going to be different than "heavy" for the average person. If you're a newb to lifting, or if you're a smaller, lighter man, or if you're female, you will be lifting 'heavy' at a lower weight because you'll still be lifting a large amount in proportion to your own amount of muscle.

Someone with 200 lbs lean who lifts 100 is doing the same amount of work, proportionally speaking, as someone with 100 lbs lean who lifts 50. See what I mean?

I personally got great results on 1 g per lb body weight, but I was also lifting 'heavy' for my size and LBM.

Cheers,

Fri
