We have a weight lifting machine that I've been using to do my weight lifting on. One of the things I'm having the hardest time with is that the weights are in 10lb increments. This is fine for my legs, but my upper body has always been much weaker, and just when it seems like I could move up to the next increment, I can barely get a rep in. I feel like I'm really fighting the machine just to finish my exercises on it!
What can I do to help transition my body into the next increment? Should I do smaller reps? Presently I don't have a fixed set amount. I weight lift for 30 - 45 minutes and when I've reached my time, I stop. Sets aren't really counted - I just take 30 secs rest between the next rep.
The more I read, the more it seems like I should be lifting weights more than doing my run. Should I do weight training more than running?
