Lesley Maxwell shares her tip for good muscles

Lesley Maxwell took to her official Instagram account @lesleymaxwell.fitness and shared a video that had snippets from her chest workout routine. In the video, she was seen performing a set of dumbbell presses with 44 lbs dumbbells and in the caption, she revealed how she is rebuilding her muscles. She wrote, “I’ve been increasing the weights with my training recently. Here I’m lifting 20k DB’s and only five reps as I was becoming fatigued.” 

Stating the reason why she has been going heavier on weights and lighter on the number of repetitions in a set, she added, “Basically I just wanted to see if I could increase muscle mass…and it’s working! Earlier this year I wasn’t well and became a little weaker plus lost weight. And I didn’t like that so I made some changes.”
