Q: hi mike, erm i have a question, i have decided to weight train after two years, and i have gotten really weak. My question is, is it alrite if i do the same weights for all sets because. what i use to do was each set increase weight and decrease the reps. Because i find it hard to increase to bigger weights. E.g for bicep curls, 8kg,9kg,10kg,11kg,12kg thats how i would do it. So is it still effective if i cant increase the weight can i just stick to the same weight for the rest of the sets, until eventually i can able to do bigger weights.

A: Yes, it's perfectly fine to keep weights the same for all sets of a given exercise. In fact, I think it's better to keep the weights the same for most exercises, though some variety is always a good idea.
