Heavy weight baby #2
 

Heavy Weights

High reps maybe help you burn more calories while you work out, but training with heavy weights speeds up your metabolism and helps you burn more calories even 24 hours after your workout is done. The researchers at the Norwegian Sports university in Oslo, found out that training with heavy weights increases the post exercise oxygen consumption, which on the other hand refers to increased metabolism. As we mentioned it’s best that you build your workout around big and heavy movements in the range of 4-6 reps, and then add some supplemental exercise, performed with lighter weights and higher reps.
