When it comes to strength training, it always seems like it’s go big or go home.
It’s rare to see anyone lift a ten-pound or lower dumbbell.
Whereas, with a lighter weight, the muscle works to move the weight.
A lighter weight can also help you to target smaller and harder-to-work muscles more effectively.
Contrary to popular belief, gaining muscle mass is also possible with a lighter weight.
Lighter weights can also help you gain better balance and speed due to the increased range of motion.
You’ll also have a safer workout because lifting light reduces your chances of injury.
Regardless of whether you’re an experienced gym-goer or a beginner, there are always new moves to learn.
The key to getting better results with lighter weights is to progressively overload.
