Help with progress
What's the best way to progress in weight? I haven't been focusing on this and need to.

I dont think there is a 'best' way as it is dependant upon the type of routine that you are doing. Post up your routine and we can have a look and perhaps give you some good ideas for weight progression

I am training 3 days each week using what is called a push/pull/legs/.
|
what types of sets/reps are you using ?

I just started but most exercises are 3 sets for 5-10 reps range.
Bench press dips military press close grip bench press Deadlift barbell rows pullups bicep curls Squats leg press leg curls calves |

If you want to progress, you must first make sure you're tracking every day's workout. Keep a log, and review what you did last time you performed that particular workout. Then make sure you either increase the weight or increase the reps on every exercise. Is that what you are referring to? |

Linear progression with cycles seems to work very well for a lot of beginners, but it's hard to convince them to start light and build up slowly, they all want to jump right into failure training and test their strength. I can explain cycles further if you are interested.
If that type of progression doesn't apeal to you, then I would recommend double progression. Stay with the same weight until you get all your three sets of 10 reps, then raise the weight and stick with it until you get all three sets of 10 reps again. Then add more weight again...you get the idea. |
Paralysis by analysis?
