in-TEN-sity is ...
... moving more weight than you did the last time you performed this same exercise.
... working to the point of momentary musclular failure -- assuming you’ve got someone to spot you -- on that last rep of that last set.
... continuing to perform a 13th, 14th, or 15th rep when you miscalculated the weight you should have used. (Don’t forget to record this new-found strength in your log.)
... feeling and knowing the difference between hitting a ’9’ versus being hit by a ’10’. (And if you have to ask, you’ve been cheating yourself.) ... having a difficult time steering your car on the way home from the gym. (Again, always be safe.)
... not being able to easily brush your teeth or comb your hair the next morning because your arms and shoulders still hurt from yesterday.

You know you've hit your 10s when peeling your shirt off of your body in the locker room feels like another rep.
