Squat help! 🍑 what’s more important?

Question

So I can do one of two things: 
Weight: light - Reps: 15-18 - Form: good, ass2️⃣grass
OR
Weight: heavy - Reps: 5-8 - Form: I try..? Can’t get down too far. 
Idk which is better ladies! Trying lift and shape. TIA! 💕

Answer

Definitely, absolutely, without a doubt do what you can perform with excellent form. For both injury prevention and efficiency. Going heavy won’t accomplish a thing if you can’t perform the movement as it’s meant to be performed. That said, if you’re bored with the light weight or can perform more than the 15-18 reps, increase the weight to be a bit more challenging but where you can still maintain proper form.

Answer

Yeah I would make sure your form is correct and low and slowly add weight.

Answer

do the light one first and after that gets easy work your way up to the heavier if you jump straight in your end up hurting yourself good luck!

Answer

Form is KEY

Answer

It’s best if your form is good, if going heavier kills your form your not ready for heavy! You could hurt yourself. My husband is a personal trainer and he always tells me to focus on for at light weight first and move up after.

Answer

You should always be pushing your muscles.  So don't go too light that you think you can do a million reps.  If it's too easy from the beginning,  go heavier.  You want to go at least to a 90° angle with your legs.  If you can go further,  go further.  If you can't go 90°, lighten up a bit.  Also,  if you can't do at least 8 reps,  it's too heavy.
