Before you lift heavier, ask yourself this.

Wondering if it's time to go up in weight? Check these 3: - Can I easily hit 12 reps? Yes: go up. No: stay put until you can hit the top of your rep range. - Is my form solid on the last 2 reps? Yes: go up. If form breaks or ROM shortens, stay or drop down. - Can I hit 2 extra reps on my last set, 2 workouts in a row? Yes: go up. No: keep building at this weight.
