same here!! and pausing like at the bottom of a squat so i can lift without momentum has been so helpful! it’s amazing how slowing the movement can make it harder.
Low weight and slow controlled reps are what REALLY tear up ur muscles and allow hypertrophy. My glutes have grown twice as fast since implementing this and I highly recommend.
Its not necessarily that it tears up your muscles more. In fact using higher weights and going faster would definitely cause more muscle damage, yet it would yield less growth. Thats why the goal is not to induce as much damage as possible, but to work the muscle as much as possible without overly damaging it. Additionally slowing the movement allows for greater range of motion which is a huge driver of hypertrophy as muscles tend to grow larger from stretched positions. The time under tension is also longer, therefore creating more metabolic stress but not at such a high intensity or speed that will lead to too much damage
@@bhopirl4552 yes I agree with all of that. Also holding at full extension and controlling eccentric movement does help your muscles tear more while using a LOWER weight is what I meant. As in if ur flying through low weight reps nothing is gonna happen haha.
Beautifully put! This helped me to realize it’s ok to not lift at that max if my form will be compromised as I increase my reps. Love your channel. Your well informed, genuine content is so refreshing in this space. Keep shining and growing girl 💕✨some of us are on the journey with you!
Yess. I'm a trainer and once I started working out in the gym I work in had to go down on weight so I could truly demonstrate proper technique and don't embarrass myself when I'll inevitably need to bail. It's not about weight but slow, controlled form
OMG This is what I needed to hear today! Yesterday was my leg day, and I've been heard so many ppl talking about using heavy weight to grow glutes, so I tried my best.However, after that, I got pains in my lower back. Since experts like you said light weight is good enough, I will just focus on my own progress.. not be stressed about lifting heavy weights.But still kinda concerned that my progress would be slow :(
You have to build up the muscles around your glutes and your glutes themselves first I started squatting low and controlled 135lbs, I can now deep squat 165lbs for 4 sets x 10 reps You have to be patient and work your way up
Saaaame!!! I tried adding weight after every rep then goin back down BUT my body told me "mama we ain't ready for that yet" def left woth back pain and have had it all week. Which has affected my workouts sooooo now I'm like ima just work on form & enjoy the process. With my arms I do 8-15lbs and I see more progress there than I do in my legs and glutes that range from 50-120lbs It's definitely a process so we just have to be patient with ourselves
I enjoy burnout's. Good form or not, pumping out reps like I'm pumping out material in a distribution center works for me. I actually get some pain and it feels like "tight" gain. So that's my "rep"utation and I like jimmy cracking porn. I don't care
slow and steady definitely wins the race! i was in a rush to up the weight but that was how i ended up injuring my shoulder and i couldnt rly work out at all for over a month. i wont make that mistake again 😅
Lowering the weight was what helped me the most. I used to train with heavier weights and my form wasn't 100% the best so I didn't notice much of a difference. Now I changed the weights, my form is much better and I've seen results much faster.
Yes. I just had a PT session for the first time and while I usually deadlift 60kg, I was struggling with 40 during the session since I had much better form and also more reps. Im super sore all over with much lower weights and fewer sets in total
And those who train calisthenics never use weights are lying too??? 😅 don’t knock it until you try it❤ thank you for this video. It removed all doubt I feel better using lighter weights and perfecting form.
Yes 🙌 I love going slowly when I work out. My body and my mind are hard to engage in combination, so I start very slow, and the explode only on the last couple sets so I can get a new tempo going~ my trainer taught me to start small then go up, especially if you’re prepping to go up in weight. You can push extra sets with less.
Yes!!! I have restarted a program and decided to keep things light to enhance range of motion and better control. Moving to heavier weights when I have mastered proper form with lighter weights. Thanks for this video
Spoken like a true knower. I love your videos and it’s so cool that you stand up for yourself and share your experience and knowledge all in one minute long clip!
Your weights, was the first thing I noticed about your workouts after buying your next level guide & subscribing to your app. I was actually really relieved to see that your physique was that incredible with not lifting extremely heavy. Thank you for the motivation!
I do the same ! I love doing lower weight than what I can ACTUALLY do. I can control it much easier, and my goal is to perfect time under tension with that weight until it no longer feels like it’s doing anything for me. Works wonders !
Thank You for schooling people…. I recently started working out at the gym instead of at home and I feel the impulse to start training with heavier weights! This just confirmed for me why I train the way I do, see results, and don’t need to lift heavier! Thanks, now I can keep minding my business at the gym! 😂🤞🏾❤️😘
I love this!! Training slowly and very controlled prevents injury. Sometimes I see people in the gym with weights that they cannot even handle properly and this looks so bad
Thanks to you I now focus more on form and reps. I slow my movement down as well which really helps to isolate my target areas. I used to think that I needed to go higher and higher in weights as a sign of progression and achievement. But when I look at my body now, I am noticing so much more improvement this way than when I used to challenge myself with heavier weights. 🎉
You are gorgeous and you train amazing and don’t let any anybody on here make you feel like you’re not doing what’s right there’s a reason why people like me follow you. You are helping me change my life as well. I follow you and do your program every day and I appreciate who you are have a beautiful day.❤
Exactly I do the same thing as well. I rather have low weights and focusing on the workout, then doing too many weights, and having bad posture, and that way I can prevent injury and my body still changes with lightweight as well. You don’t have to go too big.
I haven’t gone past 1-45 lb plate in over 2 years. Mainly because of prior injuries but just as much from ego lifting early on. I’m just going for personal aesthetics not competitions. Trying to hit PRs too fast or over lifting made me take breaks to recover and refocus my training.
going easier and smarter stopped messing with my hormones and stopped making me super tired and burned out - I have always liked any type of exercise, but there was a point when I thought I would need to give up on gym considering how tired I’ve felt. Flipping the logic to yourself is what makes things productive and joyful again
Thanks. Me going to the gym with a "HUAZAAAAAAAAA" guy (or just people in the backround being people) makes me nervous to do my workout the way I'd want to.
Lighter weight definitely helps you with performing an exercise correctly and identifying the muscles that are the primary movers and secondary. I do pause reps so lighter weight is necessary for movements like squats (which is a lot more difficult to hold and push up from a dead stop) and hip thrusts (the pump is insane! Worth trying). Also, my quads get a lot bigger when I push heavier weight so you have to train with what works for you.
Thanks! I've felt a little bad lately, because after a break because of hip problems I started doing exactly that. I call it rehab-program and make fun of myself for it a little bit :') But I'm feeling so much better and seeing progress doing everything slowly and with low weight
Any well-respected trainer would congratulate you on your progress. Those who criticize you know very little about the science behind muscle growth; and your muscles don’t lie, girl.
so overwhelmed whit such short video🙁 been trying to get fit for years but it gets so complicated and so frustrating that i end up not dng the proper workouts or the right routine 😕
@gainsbybrains don’t let anybody tell you what to do or what not. It’s nice that you do it, but don’t explain yourself to people which anyways just hate. We all should share love and power and energy with each other and support the growth of everyone! you doing great out there. Keep going girl. 💪🏾✨😊 much love!
You dont gain size by sticking to the same weight. Its common knowledge that you should be upping the weight each week. Yes keep the form but get that weight up. Dont stick to the easy weight
I wouldn’t say every week. I certainly struggle with the same weight wi try Bulgarians for example. It doesn’t seem easy for her, as she’s slowly controlling the reps making it harder. Muscles don’t know weight amounts. Time under tensions and mechanical differences can make moves way harder then just upping weight and having poor form.
@sandycurry80 you literally replied to my comment where I mentioned keep the form 🤷 and muscles do know weight it's how the brain and body works. If you're on the same weight 10 weeks in I can bet you won't get any bigger.
@sandycurry80 oh I'm so used to reading the replies negatively nowadays. An easy way to do it, tell yourself a set number. So say you wanna do 10 of a certain weight and each time you lift try to get as close as possible. Soon as you hit the 10 move up. 4 reps then 6 then 8. You'll get there its just hard to get into the mindset of, this shits gonna be heavy
First safety is first and some of also with injuries cannot lift too heavy!! So thanks for this because it’s not a competition here it’s what works for each individual ❤
I adore you and your knowledge on fitness. I've trained for a while and I appreciate the informed guides you have. I've only used one but I work hard towards my body goals, and hope to get further along with the help from your content ❤
I like the message here. The irony of the gym/fitness world, is that it’s really NO place to have an ego. And yet many let their egos control their workout. I did for a long while. And I got hurt and burned out. Fitness isn’t generally benefited by showing off.
And they say that as if is discounts your work and it doesn’t. If it works for you it works for you. And they also say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Keep it up girl!
Glad I found this video. This helps me not feel as if I am not progressing in the gym due to I have been lifting the same weight range (15-30lbs) for about a month and a half now. I am still working on form and range of motion.
Keep training the way you are beautiful..... You are literally training properly. Not only that but people could learn a lot about how to train correctly from you. 10 perfect,( meaning correct form & full range of motion,) reps with a lighter weight is ALWAYS better than than 6 crappy reps with a heavier wieght. Keep.up the good work!
Train a full range of motion with a controlled tempo. Factors to take into consideration: Form, time and retention, periodisations style, mind-muscle connection, how many sets you are doing, how many reps, which order the exercises you are doing < did my best to understand. Thnx love

Always good to remind people that several forms of training exist, you just have to find what works best for you.

Most importantly the form!!! Longevity and strength 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

It’s not about how much you can lift, is about how well you can lift it👏👏👏keep up the good work
💯 yes Sophie keep doing what your doing you’ve helped me grow so much in my fitness journey. Love you girl!!!
i appreciate this video soooo much thank you!!!
You go girl 🎉 She is 100% right, train smarter, not harder 💪💪💪
