If I can't do 4, I lower the weight.

More weight....each workout.....right way?
Hi, Well, this is a question maybe so stupid, But I want to post it. I need the answer, jeje
If I lift more weight in each workout or more reps, I´m in the correct way?
I try always to do lower reps, 3 to 6, and when I reach the 6 reps, I put more weight in the exercise, I been increased my weight in a significant amount

If you are repping the in 4-6 range and you are at one end of the spectrum with your current weight (relatively easy or hard depending at which end you are on), then it makes absolute sense to either increase or decrease to put you back comfortably in the rep range of choice. So if you are struggling with a weight to get 6 reps, then thats a good weight, but if you get to 6 easy, then you may want to put more weight on. Conversely, if you are struggling to get 4, then you may want to lighten up.
