Research shows that lifting light or heavy weights can build muscle effectively as long as you lift close to failure, with only 2 sessions of resistance training per week needed for gains. The key is to push muscles to near exhaustion, using proper technique and progressive overload, regardless of weight size.
Including light weights in your workout routine offers a range of benefits, such as building muscular endurance, improving form and range of motion, activating the right muscles, warming up the body effectively, boosting performance, and preventing injuries. Light weight training complements heavy weight lifting and should be incorporated into warm-ups or used as finishers. It is especially beneficial for beginners, those recovering from injuries, and individuals looking to build muscular endurance. Balancing light weight training and heavy weight lifting provides the most benefits for overall fitness.
