Steps and Sets
Sometimes, but not always using heavier weights, resistance, levels and progressions can seem, feel and be daunting. If that happens try this:
Option 1: percentages
set 1: 15-30%
set 2: 20-40%
set 3: 25-45%
set 4: 30-50%
Option 2: light, medium & heavy
Option 3: last workout
2nd set weight from last workout
3rd set weight from last workout
1-10 lbs. / hand more than heaviest weight last workout.
Training is fun. Getting stronger is fun. Getting better is fun. If you can't do every set at the recommended weight, can you get 1 set at the recommended weight? If yes, try one of these options and then the next strong day, choose the best option again for that day and try to get 2 sets at the strong weight.
Back Up Plan: Progressive Resistance Overload (PRO)
If you can't go heavier, can you add 1-rep / exercise for L/R exercises or 2-reps for 2-arm or 2-leg exercises per set compared to how many reps you did last week.
So....
If you did 4 reps in week 1, but you can't go heavier, could you do the same weight, but do 5 or 6 reps / set for each exercise? That's a PR and you're progressively overloading your body, so you're getting better and most times it's subtle so it's no big deal.
