So I've never been really into "weight lifting." Meaning I don't live at the gym or anything but I try to get a good workout in about 3 days a week.
My main goal is to be stronger (as much in a skeletal way as in a muscular way) and just to stay in shape. I know a *little* about working out and whatnot but I've never really gotten "into it."
My question is, when I lift weights I have a kinda weird problem. I can lift my "max" around 8 times or so but if I add hardly, if not any, weight whatsoever then I can't even come close to moving it (or that's what it feels like anyways). At most I can max out at 5% more of what I rep.
Maybe it's a lot more normal than I think it is or maybe I just need to grow a pair but from the couple of people I've talked to it's kinda strange. I dunno what it means or if it's good or bad or just different but I'd like to figure it out one way or another.
Thanks!
