How do i increase weightlifting with each workout?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gradually: Depends on your strength, general health and level of conditioning. Work out 3 to 5 days per week, then add increments to the workout routine once a week. Only add repetitions or weight, not both. Best is to add about 20% per week. Using this method, you will double the program every five weeks.
