Hi all,

17 years old, a friend of mine recommended this workout called wbb1. He's a tank in fairness to him.

If you're unfamiliar with it, wbb1 is this:

Sorry, couldn't resist! To be fair, a lot of resistance in those suckers if you put too much coffee in.

On the actual topic, probably trial and error for a while, but try to find a weight for each exercise in which you're struggling a bit on the last couple of reps (while still maintaining form).
