Maureen, I have been wondering about all of this too. I think I know what you’re saying, but wonder, if we know that we won’t be able to get 10-12 reps if we keep raising the weight do we stick with a weight that we know we can manage to push out 10 reps instead of increasing? For example, last night with my shoulder single arm raises I started at 15lb dumbbells and could not get out too many by the time I got to 25lb.
I didn’t want to start too light as it seems like a waste of time?
Thanks! Pam
