How about either? How would I go about training for either?

I don't like the size that I'm getting but I don't want to just stop hitting the weights. I know that what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. Currently I've just reached the ability to bench 3 sets of 10 with those dumbbells. I can probably squeeze out a few more each set, but I've been saving the energy for other exercises later (i.e., inclines, declines, maybe dips). Should I continue to increase the reps I do for this weight?

Or should I go and do more sets and reps at a lower weight. Since I don't have access to a gym right now, the next lower set of dumbbells i have is 25 lbs lighter each. Should I just use those? I don't know the max number of reps I can do with those yet. I'll have to try some time this week.

On a side note, I guess I'm trying to "body-unbuild" rather than bodybuild. Heh.
