MOST PEOPLE lift way TOO HEAVY!!

^^^Good point. Proof in the picture

there are three types of muscle fiber in the fast twitch group, and each benefits at a different rep range

I may have this backwards, but you get the idea

fiber type / best rep range
1 - 5 reps
2 - 10 reps
3 - 15 reps

I usually do pyramids working up and down the rep range. the problem for me, with the heavier weigghts, is that it takes a toll on tendons. I can compensate by taking TB500, but even then, I've been avoiding the heavier weight that takes me in the 5 rep to failure range. Young bulls have an easier time with the heavier weights on their tendons............

I regretted training heavy as my body has paid the price.should have trained smarter dieted cleaner and utilised the gear better.

what is your repeat speed ? This is another fact . You can do 8 reps with 2 second for each rep. But if you increase the rep speed , for example 4 second , you can do only 5-6 reps with the same weight.
