Maybe I should concentrate on reps and time-under-tension rather than weight. To quote ezine, "The term "Time-under-tension" (TUT) is really hot..." (http://ezinearticles.com/?Bodybuilding:-Is-Time-Under-Tension-Important-for-Muscle-Growth?&id=367160)
When I can do 15 reps with a 4-second eccentric phase, then I will up the weight a bit.....
Maybe, frequency-in-gym without injury, with adequate intensity, with adequate rest, and with adequate nutrition are the keys.
