For years, we’ve been hearing our members say they don’t want to challenge their muscles by lifting heavier weights because they want to achieve a lean, toned look. So instead, they choose to lift lighter weights and do extra repetitions, thinking it is the best way to get the physique they have been longing for. The fact is, lifting heavier weights only makes you big and bulky if you combine it with a heavy daily calorie consumption.
Multiple studies in the past decade have concluded that challenging your muscles and doing fewer repetitions is the best way to get the lean muscle tone that so many people are looking for (combined with a well-balanced healthy diet, of course).
