AS A GENERAL GUIDELINE TO START:
• 8-10 repetitions for 2-3 sets when training for strength (moderate to heavy resistance with
focus on proper form and control).
• 12-15 repetitions for 1-2 sets when performing prehab or pillar (hip, core, shoulders)
preparation exercises (light weight with emphasis on proper movement pattern
and stability).
PROPER FORM:
When trying movements for the first time, use lighter resistance with the goal
of being able to perform without breaking form. Multiple bands can be used for
added resistance. Do not push through or ignore aches and pains as you perform
any movement.
