Light wgts with high reps
Hello doctor,
I am an fitness enthusiast and I have started hitting the gym since a couple of months.I have just started lifting weights and there are lots of contradictory articles on weight loss on internet.I just want to know what are the best practices with weights, i reduced from 102 to 92.5 in a span of 3 months and just started lifting weights.
Is it advisable to use low weights with hight reps (or ) is it heavy weights with low reps.
It would be great if you could please suggest me a diet plan.
