Shawna is trying to figure out the best weight to increase her muscular strength. She has chosen a weight and can lift it two times. What should she do to get the BEST workout?

For muscular strength, the goal is to use a challenging weight for a small number of repetitions while maintaining good form. Since Shawna can lift her chosen weight only twice, she should lower it so she can complete about five reps. Decreasing it until she can do ten reps would focus more on muscular endurance, while increasing it would make the weight even harder to lift.
