welcome. you might want to look through the FAQ and example routines.

you should increase weights every workout, unless you have to skip because of low increments (i.e. if your weights are supposed to be 30, 33, 35 pounds for the week, the 33lb workout you use either the 30 or 35 lb dumbell)

you don't need to change your excercises, but if you want to, its probably easier change between cycles, since if you change an excercise in mid-cycle, you will not be sure you have the right maxes.

thanks for the help....you must have to start at a very low weight to actually go up every workout.
