Do I opt for a lighter weight that allows for more repetitions, thus honing my endurance, or should I challenge myself with a heftier load that promises greater strength gains? What factors should influence my decision? Is it merely about my physical capabilities, or should I consider my fitness objectives as well? Perhaps my training history and overall body mechanics play a role too. Moreover, how do different exercises alter the ideal weight? For example, should I wield a different weight for swings compared to cleans or snatches? Is the choice nuanced enough to vary it based on the day’s energy levels?
