High Reps, Light Weights or Low Reps, Heavy Weights?

A common belief is that you should use light weights and complete a high number of repetitions if your desire is to "tone," and use heavy weights and perform a low number of repetitions if your goal is to "bulk up". ACE's Jessica Matthews explains what you really need to know to reach your goals.

Finally, someone with academic credibility to shed light on this. I can't afford to buy lots of gym equipment right now, and only have 3 and 5 lb dumbbells at home. However, I have been following circuit training DVDs that have the people in them also use these size of weights, and boy do I feel the burn! Sometimes I have to go back to using the 3 lb dumbbells because the circuits are just so intense. Hopefully, I'll be able to look cut and sculpted in no time.

Do burn sets for your 1st set (where you start out doing as much weight as you can, 6-8 reps then drop the weight 15-20lbs and do 6-8 reps and then drop another 15-20lbs and do 15 final reps). Then you would do 2 more sets of 6-8 reps with as much weight as you can.
