I've been using the same dumbbells for a few weeks and the exercises are starting to feel easier. I'm wondering when I should move to heavier weights. Should I increase the weight every week or wait until I can comfortably complete all my repetitions?
Increase only when you can control the current weight properly
Try adding a few repetitions before increasing the load
Small weight increases are enough
Don't increase weight just because someone else is lifting more
Your form should remain consistent
If the last reps are still difficult you may need more time
Keep a record of your progress
Gradual progression is better than rushing
