Do you keep the tension on the band so that you can do 8 to 12 reps and once you can do 12 do you increase the tension? Thus, a workout and advancement similar to free weights. Also , at what point do you move up to the next band color?

You are trying to build muscle endurance and tone, not increase the size of the muscle. More repetitions are the idea here. Remember, the tolerances between muscle and bone in the shoulder area are already small. You don't want to close the gap anymore by bulking up these muscles. I do about 40-50 rep's of each exercise twice; when I do them :rolleyes: .
