After a light warm-up set for each body part, adjust the weights used so that you are struggling to achieve the desired number of reps. Don’t sacrifice proper form for the sake of excessive weight, but the final rep of each set should be nearly impossible to complete. If you are able to breeze through each set, then the weights selected are too light and must be increased. When you get stronger while using proper form, you give your body no choice but to grow.
