For the seated Russian twist (and one or two other exercises I’ve come across) you are told to use a weight but not given guidance on what weight to use.
For that specific movement, I can easily perform the reps with a 5lb weight, and a 20lb is too much. Should I be continuing on with 5lbs or waiting until 20 is easy? It would be great to have this guidance directly on the app, but I also didn’t find much searching the forum. Thanks!
Hi Ross,
Master the twists with a 5lbs!
Hey @Ross Boucher for most exercises, especially progressions that involve the shoulders, 5lbs will suffice for mastery.
As you continue through the courses, you will keep them into your warm ups, adding weight gradually.
At this stage, it’s more important to understand the mechanics. You can worry about what weight to use later.
