When I was in weightlifting, the best lifters I saw did stamina exercises to build a base of solid muscle. They didn't do the body building exercises that people are so enamored of today. They would work out at very high reps at moderate weights, and then on alternate days, do their lifting techniques with heavier weights. I think repetition is the key to long term success with weights. For people not trying to compete like that, light weights and increasing reps should develop a sustainable regimen.

Good Luck!
