Hello, this might be a dumb question, but bear with me. Am I suppose to be using different weights for different exercise ? For example I'm using dumbbells only to do 3 compound exercises per workout session, 3 days per week. The exercise are Chest Press / Back Row / Shoulder Press, and for the longest time, I've been using the same weight for ALL 3 exercise, when I increase the weights as I go, I increase for all 3 exercise as well, I assume that is wrong ? I should be using the appropriate weight for each exercise and also increase the weight individually based on the exercise as well ?
Yes. Everyone strength and strong part is different. Imagine you have to curl or side lateral raise with the same size dumbbells.
You should try to increase the weights whenever possible for each exercise.
I typically do it the way that when I can hit 12 reps, i will increase 2.5 kg.
But having said that, ironically, i do dumbbell press for chest and shoulder with the same dumbbell size, because i train them almost equally and the progress almost equally too.
the back row is significantly lower weight for me.
