im new to this although id have to say it depends on your weight, height and maybe age.
i use to weigh 78 and decided before i would do weight lifting id lose some more weight first, so i set a goal to lose 15kg.
now that i've accomplished that goal, im now aiming on gaining more muscular.
good luck!
What Determins Muscle Failure, I have just started, and have set the weights, so that I can do 10 - 12 Reps on the first set, things are sore by that point, on the second set I can just get to 8-10 Reps, after say 30-60 Second Rest period.
Muscle failure means that you cannot do any more reps with good form. If you can't do eight strict reps, the weight's too heavy. If you can do more than 12, the weight's too light. Adjust the weight for your next set.
it's far better to use a weight that allows you to perform the movement correctly than to cheat with a heavy weight that will, sooner or later, result in an injury.
