Once you pass the target number of reps, you need to add weight to keep the intensity up.

Just feel your way, learn to listen to your muscles and body. That's how you'll suceed.

Ice has hit it on the head! Nothing makes me get chills like seeing someone putting a lot of weight on the bar and then proceeds to use the worst bad form to do the lift.

ice_man, words to pump by. I guess that I'm the flip side to your coin, I have made every mistake imaginable in a gym. I started working out many years ago in the Army, no instruction and way too much ego. Now I have settled down into a more informed method of workout. There is a guy in our gym here that works out about 45 min a day 4-5 days a week, an incredibly massive and defined build. He doesn't move massive weight, he sqweezes reps with excruciating slowness. He works smart, he works a heavy negative. Another guy just plain hurts my eyes, cheats on every rep and never varies his everyday routine. He looks like skin stretched over a skeleton, completely overtrained. A couple of us have joked about a pool to bet on when he will have a stroke. He darts around the gym talking to himself, out there on a mission. What contrasts.
