how do you know if you're lifting hard enough in the gym
>>
follow a program and track progress
or
lift until you hurt yourself then recover and do slightly less next time and repeat this over and over again

Don't call me crazy but I think something's wrong with this image.

If you lift hard enough you’ll get to failure or close to. This means the reps should slow down significantly as you approach last rep. Everything else is a meme

Do 3 sets of 20 reps, if you can do it successfully, up the weight the next time you do that exercise, rinse and repeat until you hit a brick wall. Keep a journal.

20 reps is too much, 10 or 8 is better

the smaller one is obviously 2.5kg

Form and reps are also progress, if you went from 12x10x8 to 12x12x12 then you defo improved.
