6 to 12 reps

Posted by: Daniel

Hello,

I'm going to start with a program and so far it looks really good. But I have some questions, I hope they aren't to stupid but here it goes: When it says I'm about to do 6-12 reps should I pick a weight that does not allow me to reach more than 12 reps? I mean should I reach failure at least on the 12'th rep? And how often should I increase the weight? Every week? Or how do I know when to increase?

What it means is that you take a weight that you can do for at least 6 reps but no more then 12 reps, when you can do 12 reps you add weight the next workout and then work you way back up to 12 reps again.

Best,

Paul
