Should you lift heavy weights at low reps or low weight at high reps? Like many training questions, the answer depends on numerous factors, including your goals.

I only started weight training well into my 40s... i regret waiting so long. It's a game changer

Biggest benefit i can see is injury resistance.. i've been able to push my volume into 100-120km/wk without having to see my physiotherapist all the time
