Title: Increasing The Weight VS Increasing The Sets
My question is pretty straightforward. How do I know when to increase the amount of weight that I'm lifting, and how do I know when to increase the number of sets that I'm doing? Will there be a big difference between the two?

Title: Re: Increasing The Weight VS Increasing The Sets
The number of sets you do per exercise depends on your goals. More sets less weight for fat loss, fewer sets more weight for building mass. When to increase weight: benchpress, pick a weight you think is moderately heavy, do between 8-10 reps. Did you feel you could go past 10 reps without too much problem?...add weight. Couldnt get to 8 reps?...weight is too heavy. 8-10 is a moderate rep range, lower than 8 are used for building mass, higher than 10 for fat loss. These arent laws, just guidelines
