> As for what you mentioned above…I am definitley doing those things…I am weight lifting 20reps for 3 sets…( that is by the end of the weeks…it was a little less rep wise at the beginning ) By the end of my 3rdet I am barely pulling the last 2 reps off **BUT I do it and push my self too** –it feels good though. ( I am not trying to hurt myself but I also am not trying to sell myself short )

I could tell a noticable difference yesterday when i went to the gym…for instance it wasn’t as hard compared to my first couple days.

Sounds like you are working hard and seeing results. If all your reps are controlled and in perfect form I would up the weight. I say if on your third set you can not get at least 12 reps then you added too much weight. As for your height/weight 150 isnt too bad for that height. Now just keep in mind weight is just a #…for most what you look like should be your main goal. Keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat so to people the same height and weight may look totally different. I use my weight for short term gaols and to keep myself in check, but in the end it is just a #.
