Muscle loss and muscle building

Since you have some lifting experience, do you think I'd have any problem building muscle by going with heavier weights? How do I know which weight is right for me to lift? 8 reps until failure? 10 reps?

Without Testosterone, there can be no muscle building. I'm just trying to get all the benefits of weight training without damage to joints, ETC... I think you could benefit from having a trainer for awhile . There are enumerable benefits without the muscle building.

Common belief is, if you can lift 12 good reps, increase the weight and go back to 8. When you can do 12 good reps with that weight, increase the weight and go back to 8...rinse and repeat...
There are certainly a lot of other methods / routines people like, such as heavy days / light days weekly routines, but, the first one has always seemed one of the easiest to get started with and do consistently. Maybe while doing that you can research other routines types.
