5 Tips for Lifting Heavier Weights

Romain Maier, a Domyos weight training coach, gives you 5 tips for getting stronger:

  • Exercise at more than 80% of your repetition maximum* (RM) on the basic movements.
  • The right method to use: do 5 sets of 5 repetitions for one movement.
  • The recovery time must be longer between each series: 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Never exceed 30 to 60 repetition maximums per session (2 movements at 5 x 5) on a muscle group
  • You do not need to exercise on a machine or perform isolation movements. Power is developed with a global workout. Within this context, use the following basic movements: bench presses, pull-ups, squats, deadlifts.

These 4 types of exercises are sufficient to exercise all the muscle groups.

* The repetition maximum or RM is the heaviest weight you can lift for a given exercise in a single repetition. In other words, you cannot reproduce the same effort a second time. This is used as a benchmark. It is measured by carrying out a test in the gym with a spotter. At least six months of weight training is required beforehand. Indeed, you must be proficient in the basic weight training exercises
