If I were asked this question, I will say the weight in kilograms which can be lifted 11 (eleven) times for an exercise. I am talking of bodybuilding, of course.
For me, 10 kilogram pair dumbbells for military press is the ideal weight to lift. I can do just 11 reps of military press with 10 kilogram dumbbells. I can do about 43 bench presses with 10kg pair dumbbells. Maybe 17.5 kilogram pair is the ideal weight for bench presses. Because then I can manage just 11.
So this is the reason why young boys insist on joining gym. They have 10 kilogram pair , 17.5 kilogram pair and more. Also other equipments.
Now, why 11?
My reasoning is prime numbers in decreasing order four times. Why decreasing? 'cause I believe that decreasing primes keeps pain constant. Why four? 'cause four is two squared ( meaning two from any side) and two is biggest enemy of prime numbers.
Even numbers. Why 11? 'cause 11 will lead to 11, 7, 5 and 3. Keep the pain low and constant.
To me, a 10 kilogram pairs of dumbbells is ideal for military press as I can do 11, 7, 5 and 3. With bench press I do 23, 19, 17 and 13. Not from 43 'cause it is more difficult to do 43, 37, 31 and 29.
I now have clarity in sets and reps. But I do not know whether I should do quick and complete dumbbells workout repeated 2 or more times. Or whether strength for 4 sets in decreasing primes starting suitably from a number appropriate to the muscles exercised.
Do you have similar confusion? Please write about it.
Yet another important theory is clear now !!
What is it?
When one can do many many reps like 43 in bench press etc., then the next rep will be half. 22 or 21.
How about this?
This is a practical realisation!!
