You are probably just as confused with this process as you are with what diet you should do.
You have been told “low weight and high rep will tone you best”. Well… you can’t tone a muscle that hasn’t been built yet. Yes you will burn the calories but will you build muscle?
Eh maybe. Maybe not. It comes down to your diet and how much you are really focusing on that mind muscle connection.
I have actually switched to “low” weight and high reps for about 5 months. However that low wasn’t 5lbs and the high reps were 20-failure. My mind muscle connection was the best it’s ever been.
But now I am actually switching to high weight, low reps. Now that is actually a high weight that I can do properly and low reps is 8-12, not 3-5.
I do those 8-12 reps perfect, trying to fail at 10 on the last set or two. My mind muscle is what is driving the weight, not my ego.
My muscles are growing better than they ever have been. My body is forming into a better shape.
So yes you could go low weight and high rep. Or you could go high weight and low rep. Because in all honest opinion… it doesn’t matter really. Progressive overload… mind muscle… and a good ass diet is the only thing that will lead to allowing that muscle to grow.
So if you want to really step it up and improve your physique and lose that skinny fat look you have.. you hire a coach.. me.. and I design a workout plan for you and a diet that suits the goals you want to achieve.
You can try and tone a muscle that isn’t there.. or you could build the muscle and lose the fat around it with my help.
Which do you choose?
