Improving Workout Results by Manipulating Perceived Weight
The key to enhancing workout results is to do something unique or different from the usual routine. A beneficial game for experienced individuals is to challenge themselves with lighter weights by aiming to reach failure with a lower number of repetitions. The focus shifts from simply adding weight to the bar to making the weight feel heavier through adjustments in form, technique, and tempo. This method has shown to deliver better outcomes than constantly increasing weight on the bar, especially for individuals beyond the initial years of training.
