Add a bit more weight each week. Your muscles will rise to the challenge and thank you later.<\/p><p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Bench pressing 100 lbs for 8 reps? Try 105 lbs next week.<\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"increasing-repetitions\"><strong>Increasing Repetitions<\/strong><\/h3><p>More reps mean more work for your muscles. If you\u2019re comfortable with 10 reps, push it to 12.<\/p><p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Squatting for 3 sets of 10?
