Just think about what rep range you’d like to target (5-10, 10-20, or 20-30) and choose a weight that you think will fall into that target. If it’s an exercise you did in your last mesocycle and the rep range target is the same, you can add between 5 and 20lbs to the exercise depending on if it’s something light (50-100lbs requires a 5lb or so addition from the first week of your last mesocycle to the first week of this one) or heavy (500+lbs might mean a 20lb addition). If you’re using an exercise like a dumbbell movement that is less than 50lbs total, you might just keep the weight the same and aim to increase the repetition number.
