In the initial workouts the bodybuilder is advised to gauge his ability by gradually adding to the resistance used and experimenting to see what the optimal capacity will be. One should begin with pretty light weights in order to get fully warmed up and then gradually increase the load as the body continues to get more familiar with the requirements. Each weight addition should be used to complete a set of motions.
