Heavy is relative to the range of motion in variable resistance training; using a 540 lb resistance band at the strong end of the chest press range is 'heavy' even if it takes 20+ repetitions because the band is light at the weak range, so higher rep counts with bands do not indicate light training

“I use 540 lb at peak of my chest press in the 20 rep range, that's still heavy because of the variance”
