Tip of the Week

You should increase the weight on an exercise when you are able to do more repetitions on a set than you have been regularly doing. If you normally do 20 lb for 10 reps and you find you can do 11 or more reps with that 20 lb, you should increase the weight to the point where you can only do 10 or fewer reps.
