I can complete all reps of all set using pink dumbbells.
So then, you need to decide a methodology for progressing in load. My method has always been:
1. If I can complete all reps of all sets, I increase the load 5-10lbs on the next workout.
2. If I fail to complete all reps of all sets, but I'm close, I stay at load for the next workout.
3. If I fail to complete all reps of all sets and I fall way short, I reduce load 5-10lbs for the next workout.
This assumes you are maintaining tempo and form. Form failure should be a cut off in the decision process. Tempo...do your best to maintain tempo, but sometimes, you simply can't toward the end.
