The method to find out the weights in the beginning is by trial and error. For example, if you are asked to do 12 repetitions, then you should select a weight where you are only able to do 12 maybe 14 repetitions with before failing. Then if the next set is 10 repetitions, then you would choose a heavier weight where you can only do 10 or at max 12 repetitions. Understand?.. The key is to pyramid the weights up and challenge your muscles. Good Luck. -------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.
