Do I need heavy weights to build muscle?

Not necessarily. Research shows that muscle grows with light or heavy loads as long as you take sets close to fatigue. Heavier weights are efficient, but lighter weights with high effort also work, which is good news for anyone training at home.

Bodyweight exercises, resistance bands and moderate dumbbells can all build muscle if you progress them and train hard enough.
