Just starting this program and I am wondering about when to add weight. Do I try to go up in weight when I repeat the workout?

    I don't know if it's right or not, but I assumed that I was to add weight when the reps drop, (higher weight, lower rep) which according to a plan I found on one of the threads it is the 2nd week Work out A.

    If you feel like you can go up while keeping good form, you can go up at anytime. There were many times I felt like I could add weight, couldn't complete the reps so went back to where I was... trust your instincts!

    I go up in weight when I finish a set and feel like I can still do a few more reps. the last 2 reps should be hard. if it is not, I would consider going up.

    This is what I do.
