Not OP.
So, if I'm a female who's just recently started weight training.
For most exercises, I do 3 sets with 15 reps, with a weight that I can manage.
Should I take it down a notch? Fewer sets and/or reps, but with a much higher weight?
Also, sometimes when I'm done with my last set and I'm not completely tired out, I'll bump the weight up substantially and do a few more until it hurts.
Is any of this good? What should I be doing? The reason I am doing weight training is to raise my metabolism to help lose weight. Once I have lost all the excess weight, I want to start building muscle just for the sake of looking awesome.
tl,dr. Which is best for raising my resting metabolism to aid in weight loss? High weight/low rep, or low weight/high rep?
