Tips from our coach (2/2)
With each exercise, start with the minimum recommended number of reps, leaving yourself a margin of 2 reps below your max capacity; then increase by one rep per week until you reach the maximum recommended number. At that point, increase the lift load, and start again with the minimum number of reps, and repeat as before. As for the dips, you can use a strap to make them easier, or a weighted vest to make them harder, depending on your level.
