How much weight lifting is required to build bone?

I am interested because people who lift weights for decades are a minority. How often do you increase reps/weight?

Increase reps when it gets easy, increase weights when it gets easy. You want to feel your muscles start to fatigue.
Example: if I do three reps of eight easily, I’ll do another rep. If it’s easy, I’ll increase the weight. Increase weights incrementally - go from a 3 lb. weight to a 5, to an 8, to an 10 etc.
