Heavy generally means the most weight YOU can lift for a set of 8-12 repetitions using proper form. What’s heavy for. 65 year old woman is not going to be heavy for a 20 year old man.
Thanks. That’s helpful.
So, Sauron, would the goal of heavy be to increase weight and the goal of moderate to increase reps? And can one alternate heavy and moderate so as to do each three times a week (if one were able to work his or her way up to that) or would they work against each other?
Would something like this workout qualify? It’s less than 15 minutes.

the problem with doing the heavy lifting for old men is that it can injure the shoulders if entered into too quickly. That’s what’s happened to me. Now all I can do are aerobics. I have to stay away from anything that strains my shoulders.
