What intensity should beginners use in resistance training?

  1. More than 90% of their 1RM

  2. Less than 70% of their 1RM

  3. Exactly 50% of their 1RM

  4. At their maximum intensity always

The correct answer is: Less than 70% of their 1RM

Beginners should use a resistance that is less than 70% of their 1RM (one-repetition maximum) in resistance training. This is to prevent injury and allow the body to adjust to the stresses of weightlifting. Option A, using more than 90% of their 1RM, is not recommended for beginners as it is too intense and can lead to injury. Option C, using exactly 50% of their 1RM, is also not ideal as it may not provide enough challenge for beginners to see progress. Option D, always using maximum intensity, is not recommended as it can be dangerous and lead to overtraining. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate choice for beginners in terms of intensity in resistance training.
