I'm using FTs fitness plan schedule but I'm not sure how to use it. It has usually 4 sets with declining reps in each one. Should I be doing all the sets with the same weight or should I be doing different weights on each? I really don't know what to do with it? And could someone tell me how to fill out the results of it properly too?

I increase weight each set , for example , if it is 12 10 8 , then i would start , say with 50 then go to 70 then 90 , if you find it too easy , mark and arrow up on your paper to indicate that next time you can start with a higher weight.
As for results, they want you to mark the actual reps you did compared to what they give as a goal , and the weight used each set also. So come next time you train you will know where to start .

Na how do you calculate the weight? Do you add both weights for each arm together or is it singally and what about exercises that don't involve weights?

Dumbells input weight of each dumbbell. So 2 50 pound dumbbells you would enter 50 pounds. Body weight enter 0.

Ok thanks one more question. How long should I rest and stretch between each set?

Rest about a minute or so. Some people include the bar weight in the weight input. I always did. Doesn't really matter as long as you do it the same way each time.
