Fun Facts: Weight Training

Weight training helps build a strong core and maintains a good posture. It can also lower bad cholesterol and blood pressure. Weight lifting can also produce dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin which makes it a natural anti-depressant.

Low reps VS High reps

General rule of thumb when it comes to repetition numbers is that when you wish to increase overall strength, you work at a lower reps level with higher weight. However, for muscle growth size (hypertrophy), you should work at a slightly lighter weight and aim for higher reps.
