Does lifting lighter weights than usual makes muscle become smaller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: a lot depends on what you have been doing and how many reps If you were doing heavy weights and bulked up then of course with lighter weights you will decrease some If you do lower weights with increase reps then you can build up your muscles Nutrition also plays a role in building muscles
