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

Evidence Quote

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