PICK YOUR WEIGHTS

‘Each person is different and weights are relative,’ says Buys. Use this nifty guide at your next session…

1 IF YOU’RE A BEGINNER

Start with a 4kg weight and do the move slowly. Pa es rf yo or um lo 10 w te or 12 reps on each arm – the final three should be very difficult to complete.

2 IF YOU’RE TONING UP

Do 15 to 20 reps. ‘If you can easily manage 20, up the weight,’ advises Buys.

3 IF YOU WANT TO BUILD MUSCLE

‘Do the move four times a week, aiming for fatigue by reps 13 and 14,’ says Tak Wing Yu. Up the weight if you’re finding it too easy.
