Your primary goal with every workout should be beating the previous week’s numbers, even if only by 1 rep. If you do that again the next week, you’re ready to move up in weight. You should know, however, that some weeks just won’t go like that. Sometimes you’ll only be able to lift exactly what you did the week prior. Sometimes you’ll even be a rep weaker. These things happen and don’t necessarily mean anything is wrong. Just keep working at it and you should see a slow, steady increase in weight lifted over time.
