My question is what would you consider light, moderate, or heavy weights? Like is there a specific percentage I should go off by of what I can max? or is it a number of reps I can get with a certain weight, if so what are the rep ranges? Sorry if it sounds stupid, but like I always been told light weight is considered anywhere between 15-20 reps, moderate = 8-12, and heavy = 4-6 reps, if there is a certain percentage I could follow off my max what would they be?

In terms of bodybuilding, it goes more by function than class
1-4 (heavy) is power.
5-8 (heavy-moderate) is strength/mass.
9-12 (moderate) is strength/endurance, and;
13-15 (light) is endurance, mainly dealing with conditioning.
Depending on what types of range you are more facilitated towards or have been neglecting, any listed range can illicit progress of a particular function. Some people's endurance will greatly improve after doing heavy sets, while some people will tend to gain mass when performing moderate level.There's no rule that says the dog can't play.
