A common question we get from our clients, friends, and listeners: "How heavy should I be lifting?!"
Here's the thing:
Most women in the gym aren’t lifting heavy enough to see real change… or they’re going so heavy their form falls apart.
So how do you know if your weight is right for you?
In this episode, we break down the tools every lifter needs—RPE (rate of perceived exertion), RIR (reps in reserve), and progressive overload—to help you train smarter, build muscle, and actually see results.
We’ll cover:✅ What “lifting heavy enough” really looks and feels like✅ How to avoid ego lifting and form breakdown✅ The art of auto-regulation (adjusting on the fly)✅ Why tracking effort—not just weight—is the golden rule
No fluff, no gimmicks—just evidence-based tools that will help you get stronger and stay injury-free.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I lifting heavy enough?”—this episode is for you.
