How to build muscle and prevent or reduce osteoporosis in a low gravity environment

Supposedly people atrophy on space missions because of a lack of resistance from gravitational force.  If you try to lift a 100 kilogram barbell in outer space it should allegedly not weigh approximately 980 Newtons like On earth and be easy to lift.  But if you take a spring and pull it apart to the same distance on earth it should exert approximately the same amount of tension in a low gravity environment like outer space.  So they should use tension based strength equipment in outer space and try for very high intensity exertion such as 1 rep max, 10 rep max or 20 rep max and so on.



Note : I thought of this idea more than ten years before 2018 possibly even as early as 2002 or earlier but wanted to make sure my idea could be credited to me before putting it in writing.  With the waybackmachine I now realize this can give evidence of my originating this idea.  I do not know if other people came to the same conclusion independently.
