You knew I was going to have you lifting a lot of heavy weight, and here’s what it comes down to: working in the 4- to 6-rep range for nearly all exercises (we’ll go over the exceptions soon). This means that you’re going to be using weights that allow for at least 4 reps but no more than 6 reps (if you can’t get 4 reps, it’s too heavy; if you can get 6 or more, it’s too light). Generally speaking, this is about 85 percent of your 1RM for each exercise.
