@jamiemj I believe “heavy” is unique to each of us. We will universally be told to not lift anything that makes us grunt or strain. As an example, before all this I bench pressed 160 pounds. Now I won’t work with more than 95, and there is a school of thought that I should be limiting myself to 20 pound dumbbells with a bunch of reps. I kind of struggle figuring out what I can safely do because weight lifting is supposed to be good for us old guys, and not taking an unnecessary risk.
