Can you please some links or info please.

New life, do you think the 5,3,3,1,1 thing is good for women?
Everyone, how do you know how much weight you can handle? the reason I ask is because I want to lift more (I only use 8# db's right now and it takes a LOT of reps to get tired), but I don't have a workout buddy who will lift with me so that means no one to spot me or help with my form, and I can't afford a trainer (did 3 sessions and he is into the low weight/high reps thing anyway).
Any advice would be great.
