When we perform strength training, choosing weight is a question that many people often think about. I am afraid that the weight I choose will not meet the training standards and intensity. This is especially true for shoulder training. So what weight do you think is appropriate for dumbbell shoulder presses? Let’s go take a look below!
There is a term called RM in fitness. RM roughly means the maximum number of reps you can do under a certain weight. For example, 1RM is the maximum weight you can complete one repetition. So it mainly depends on what your needs are? Choose different RMs according to different goals.
1. If you want to increase muscle strength, you must choose a weight of 3-6RM and do 3-6 repetitions to your limit;
2. If you want to increase muscle mass, you must choose a weight of 8-12RM and do 8-12 repetitions to your limit;
3. If you want to sculpt lines, you must choose 15RM and above, and repeat the maximum for more than 15 times;
So what is suitable for you is the best. Choose the right weight and exercise scientifically under the premise of safety, which is the best. In fact, it does not mean how much weight should be used for dumbbell shoulder presses. This varies from person to person. Some people have greater strength and can push heavier, while some people have less strength and can only push lighter. So The weight that suits you is the best.
