That's a myth Lyle.

Lighter weights - more reps myth has reared it's ugly head again

To be honest it's something i was told when i originally started training. Anyway it's a dirty lie

See below....

Fat Loss & Weight Training Myths

"Performing lighter weight with more repetitions (15-20 reps, 20-30 reps, or 20-50 reps) does not burn more fat or tone (simultaneous decrease of fat and increase muscle) better than a heaver weight with moderate repetitions (8-12 reps)"

Actually that page busts quite a few myths...It's worth checking out.[/QUOTE]

I dont know about toning and all that. But light weights and more reps DOES alot to help muscle endurance amiright or am i left?

also, are big triceps a hinderance? Because since i've been working my triceps using the pulldowns, they really increased in size.

Muscle is great, if it functions in any form of Athletic movement if not its a waste. Remember muscle has memory, so when trying to attain muscle make sure the muscle knows what its there for. Southpaw you are correct.

i hear ya.

I've been planning to do some slow controlled shadowboxing with 2 lb dumbells for muscle endurance. I noticed my shoulders start fatiguing in the later rounds and my guard starts to drop. This should help.

Try a good stretch program it will do you more good, give you better contraction and more function.
