if you guys know so much how come i cant progress
My philosophy is you need to "introduce" your body to heavier weights... instead of doing 10 sets of 10 reps with 125, save your energy, do a set of X many reps with 135.. in that case, your body gets introduced to the heavier weight, and then resume with your 125 lbs... next time around, your body can handle 135 easier... and so on, start doing 135 with more reps, and before you know you can do sets of 135
i dont believe that if you do 10 sets of 10 reps with 125, that will make you do 3 sets of 140 lbs easier.. i thinks thats BS.. try the method i mentioned
