depends on your progression. for example, last month i started benching:
15 reps of x lbs.
12 reps of y lbs.
9 reps of z lbs.
i could barely put up the ninth rep of z lbs.
i kept those weights until i felt comfortable putting up the ninth rep of z.
then i bumped each set up by 20 lbs. i'll continue to do that until i am comfortable and then go up again etc.
if your lifting weights and you're wondering when you should increase the weight that means that you aren't challenging yourself from the start. problem is that i "try" to work out, but find myself on gfy during all my free time.....go figure.

nah i was actually just wondering whats normal... so i'll know if im not progressing enough. 2-3 weeks sounds good I was thinking it would be shorter.
