I don't know why.

I don't understand why most of the old school bodybuilding books and even Arnold's "Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding" don't really mention much or sometimes anything about the importance of increasing the weight you are using on an exercise over time to build muscle size. It seems pretty stupid considering how much a person can learn about working out correctly from a single video on YouTube these days. Most workout videos I watch usually clearly explain not only how to do the exercise correctly but also exactly what you need to do to make progress on the exercise and get results!
Honestly when I first started working out and had some basic knowledge on exercise I started reading these old bodybuilding encyclopedias because there was no YouTube. I found these books to actually confuse me more about how to train correctly as far as training frequency, rest time, and even the number of reps to do.
