Thats interesting, I have never thought about that. I would imagine the weight would have to be way low. The weight I use when I lift is always much high enough to make sure my body doesn't go aerobic.
There is a lot of controversy over the results you get from varies lifting styles (such as high weight with few reps, low weight many reps, high weight until failure, etc). The only substantial study I have found on it was one that showed that people lifting low weight for many reps build more dense muscles that have better endurance, whereas high weight with few reps and high weight until failure builds larger muscles that tire quicker but have more explosive power and overall maximum force. I am sure there are other studies in other areas out there as well.
