Question on adding weight
So just a short question. Let's say I do 5 sets of 10 reps each hand with 12Kg. And each 3 weeks I want to add weight to my sets so I can stimulate muscle growth. How much weight would be enough to motivate my muscles to grow more and in the same time, will I be able to handle it?
I know if let's say I jump from 12Kg to 20Kg in 3 weeks I would not be able to do the workout. How much should I add each 3 weeks? 1kg, more - less?
I read that muscles get adjusted very fast to the weight and intensity of the program and in order to keep them growing-gaining you need to put more load - weight on them so that they can grow and handle the new stress. - 11-30-2012, 02:27 PM
only add as much as you can handle and keep form. For instance if you can curl 12kg for 10 reps x 4 sets each arm, increase that to 13kg. Your reps might go down to 10-9-8-8 for the 4 sets. Keep that weight until you're back up to 4x10 and then increase the weight again. For larger muscles (like bench press or squats) you could increase more like 2-3kg each time.

as long as you're adding weight it doesn't really matter how much you add IMO. Progression is progression, plain and simple

I don't know about an exact weight answer as that varies due to experience and what exercise.
I would just say 2 n 1/2lb weights are good people(not sure with kg with doing conversions).
