Should i do more if i can? And how heavy should i lift? (im looking to build muscle) And when do i stop, in the sense of each set. Ty Btw: 5 7'-8' 130 pounds. Skinny. (lol)

Stop if your form breaks beofre you are done with the set, draw a little down arrow and use less next time. Leave your ego at the door - good form will get you farther than trying to use your back and legs to push the bar up for a bench press, lol. -------------- Argue for your limitations, and sure enough, they\'re yours.
