Welcome to the Online Journal.
To increase the challenge with the limited weights you have, perform your reps slower and engage in visualized resistance, imagining that the weights you are moving are much heavier than they really are. In fact, if you perform the reps in a super-slow manner, you may need to decrease the weight. |

Are those weights / numbers heavy for you? If not, why stop at 8 reps. I would do more reps or sets to make sure you are taxing the muscles.

My only thought is what are your fitness goals that you want from lifting weights? |

It seems to me that if you wanted to gain mass that you'd stick with the basic compound movement exercises - 3 sets of 8 reps - and save the isolation work for after the mass is there and you're trying to better define your new mass.
But what do I know? |

Others will offer suggestions, but I always point to the Kono Plan as explained in the Fall 2007 DiscussFitness newsletter interview article of Olympic weightlifting legend Tommy Kono. |
