Each set bump up the weight 5-10 lbs depending on how much you are progressing. You will need to figure out where to start and how much you can add each rep. But within a couple weeks you'll be starting off with more weight and be able to max more. I'm going back on it.

Cool, thanks. I'm going to start that today. Sounds like it should help. I use the gym at my company, and all they have is one of those all in one workout centers like they had in high school, and some free weights. I've been trying to use the free weights more than the machine.
