High reps, light weight, isn't doing shit.
High reps. Light weight. Ain’t doing a damn thing for you.
Biggest rookie mistake?
Grabbing the 10–15 lb dumbbells and cranking out a million reps like you’re trying to win an endurance contest.
You’re chasing calorie burn.600… 1,000… whatever your watch says.
That’s not body recomposition.
That’s treadmill-to-nowhere.
I’ve been there.I’ve lost over 150 lbs in my lifetime.
Through Soldierfit and The Herd, we’ve helped thousands transform over the last 18 years.
Here’s the truth—light weight = light results.
You need progressive overload.
You need rest and recovery that builds you back stronger.
If you focus on getting skinny, you’ll live in a deprivation mindset and fail.
If you focus on getting strong, I’ll put you in the best shape of your life.
✅ Lift heavy enough to stimulate muscle growth.
✅ Eat clean 80% of the time.
✅ Rest, recover, and repeat.
Do that long enough, and your results won’t just show up—they’ll slap you in the face.

Fit. Free. America.
Head down. Horns up.
