Based upon the advise I have been given on the exercise boards, today I increased my resistance training. Going to get a list of the machines I use and start doing some research on them so I know what muscles are being worked and why I am doing what I'm doing (I hate being ignorant about something that is important to me...lol).

Anyway...I'm lifting between 30-40 lbs depending on what part of the body I am working. For example...my leg presses are done at 40 lbs. but my abductors (outer thighs) are done at 36, while triceps are done at 30. I start with a set of 15 reps. Today I did them all and then started around a second time. Some of the machines I couldn't finish the second set of 15...like with the triceps, I was only about to complete 12. I guess the goal is to work up to three sets of 15 before increasing the weight any.

I hope I'm doing this right...lol.
