I found this site a few days ago because I was eager to start on an exercise program to increase the size of my body and have a shaped body. I signed up and will be starting soon. My real question is in the exercise program it says input weight for each set, does it increase as the reps decrease or do you keep the same weight. Also how often do you increase the weight after using the same weight. My final question is do products like hydroxycut help in this program to enhance body definition. All replys are welcomed. Thanks. I hope my program is a success.

That being said though, if I find doing those reps with the increased weight will be next to impossible, I'll stay with the same weight. I don't want to sacrifice form for weight... this is of course assuming my form is correct! :) t -------------- Tim "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self."

The last set you should be able to just finish or not quite finish. When you cando complete sets bump the weight up. It takes a little trial and error.

So If I understand you, I shouldn't shouldn't use the same weight for each set? -------------- Happy trails, Mike Young Tis an ill wind that blows no minds!
