It was informative with the range of reps that says too light or too heavy

I love this. I’ve been going to the gym and just lifting but not really knowing how much I should lift or how many reps I should do. This is great info.

I appreciate the thorough explanations for a beginner like me it’s very helpful so I don’t feel as intimidated by weight lifting.

Each person is unique in the amount of strength and endurance they have (particularly in reference to specific muscle groups), so even if you take two people that seem identical in height, weight, gender, and physical ability, there can still be vast differences in their strength from one muscle group to the next.

If you can finish all of your sets and repetitions without struggling, increase your weight next time you do that exercise, for at least the first set, possibly all three.

Don't ever go off of what someone else is lifting. Listen to your own body as it will tell you all you need to know about what the right amount of weight/effort is.

Always focus on keeping your form perfect. Though you can lift more with bad form, you increase your chances for injury and don't effectively train the muscles you are supposed to be targeting.

If you want to make progress, you should always struggle with the last few repetitions of your last set. Remember the last 10-20% of your reps specifically on your last set should be very difficult to keep proper from and your muscles might even give out and not be able to continue.
