I’m not an instructor, I just work out some.

When I lift, my goal is to avoid injury (which at my age would take a long time to heal). So I’m very cautious about increasing weight.

When I can do 3 sets of 10 reps without seeming to overstrain myself, I may increase weight slightly next time.

There’s lots of YouTube videos on how to do exercises using proper form

I do 5-6 sets of 10 reps before increasing weight.

That gets your heart going too.

Thank you so much! Yours seems like a good way to go about it — individualized yet still progressing!
