What is the recommendation for number of sets and reps to improve endurance?
When beginning an exercise program, one should start with 3 sets of 10 reps with a certain weight amount. The weight should be gradually increased so the muscles do not become accustomed to the amount of weight being used. After a period of time, the sets and repetitions can be increased to improve the results of the exercise.
How do you start weight lifting?
You start off light don't over due it when I started I began with some nice reasonable weight and went for high reps to get the muscles used to the resistance as you advance you should keep increasing your weight once you feel more ease with your reps increase the weight. And take good supplements like protein powder and eat healthy all of this is key.
To reduce weight and become leaner and slim should one use low weights and many reps- or high weights?
I had heard that to become lean and not bulky to stay with smaller weights and up the reps, but my personal trainer told that was ridiculous. Truth of the matter is moving up to heavier weights isn't going to turn you into the terminator. Keep a journal when you're working out of the weight used, reps done, etc. Once you can do 15-20 reps without straining to get the last 5 or so, that's an indicator to get something heavier. And weight lifting is awesome for losing weight because building muscle burns calories well after the workout is over. Good luck! Have Fun
How do you know when to lift more weight?
You know when to move on to the next plate or dumbbell when the reps are becoming increasingly easier and there is little to no struggle in finishing them. At this point, you should start with bigger weight and low reps until the same kind of situation repeats its-self. It will also become increasingly easier but you wont see the muscle mass gains as often as you used to

How can you bring up your dead lift?
Basically, by training the deadlift. The deadlift is not really an exercise best suited to high reps, though it can be done for reps occasionally. In order to increase the maximum - train with lighter weights - approximately 50-60% of best and aim for very fast, explosive lifts. Sets of more than 3-5 reps are probably not worthwhile. Mix up, low reps - light weights done fast - with heavier weights done for only singles and doubles and attemtping to increase the maximum poundage. By doing both types of training, the muscles used get used to going fast - as heavy weights inevitably mean slow reps, it is necessary to also train fast to ensure the production of maximum power output. In addition, partial lifts - with the height of the bar, higher than normal, may also improve pulling power because greater weights can be used, the closer to standing the athlete is - some deadlifters find this very effective even though the first few inches of a deadlift are not trained - others less so. If there is carry over, this can quickly improve power to lockout due to the extra weight used.
What is a good form for recording weight training?
The best way to keep a journal of your weight training is writing on paper in a 3-ring binder with the date, different exercises completed, weight used, sets and reps done, and etc. If you do this you can learn to remember the names of the different exercises easier and you can understand the pattern in your increases in weight and strength through your journaling.
