I think you may have come to the wrong site. Although I think we have at least one woman who may be interested, but I doubt it.

Tommy, I mean, Peter, you're not listening to what we are saying. If something works for you, then that is great, but a lot of us here have actually been that route and a whole lot of others.

The point we are trying to make, and which you don't seem to be hearing, is that what you are doing is not lifting heavy. I lift heavy. Dave lifts heavy. 0311 lifts heavy.

Nobody is talking about lifting light. Nobody has mentioned it. Except when I was trying to make a point about getting a pump. What we have said is that you have sacrificed weight for volume. You may percieve it as "lifting heavy" because you're throwing weights around way past your failure point using cheating movements and whatnot. The effort that you percieve as heavy lifting is nothing more than a funtion of fatigue. It is not your maximum ability. You could go heavier, which is basically what Dave said.

So, if you want to say high volume is the way to go, and anything else is for sissys and pipsqueaks (since you seem to be fond of those words) then fine. We will still give you dissertations, one way or the other, if we think we can help, and we can keep on disagreeing. But don't talk to us about heavy weights. It's not a talisman or a magic key. You have to define your terms if you want to make a point.
