So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

Go for - "add weight and and try to get as close to 7 reps as possible?"
Its all about triggering a need for your body to grow - you sure you're eating enough?I'm 34 - when am I officially an old fart?

Have you ever lifted anything but 7 repetition sets? You need to change around your loading parameters to prevent stagnation. If you are looking to get stronger, then I suggest starting by doing a small volume of even heavier lifting (3x3, 4x4, 3x5, etc.)
