Few questions on how to lift weights.

when doing arm curls with dumbells, hold one dumbell and 90degrees while you curl the other one, then switch and do, as many sets of about 15reps as you cansens_rocks_40

Bodyweight excercices ftw 8)Vfanek

Unless your heavy :cry:

do a variation of exercises. Do some concentration curls,as well ascurling both at the same time. Different exercises effect muscles in different waysand make sure not to neglect any body part as well.

keep your back straight take 2 dumbells.. one for each arm.. raise one up to the point where it is about 3 inches away from your face and bring it down .. repeat with the other dumbell.. thats only for biceps.. work out your triceps by doing over the shoulder pulls.. u can do a lot of workouts with dumbells just google it

it's best to use a barbell IMO. Also do as much weight as you can manage in six reps. Eat food with high protein before and after exercising. you should spend less than a half hour on your arms. highest weight possible, shorten the breaks in between and low reps.

low weights and high reps is only good for toning not for building muscle.

For Triceps, I do the over the shoulder exercise, sometimes with both hands, sometimes invividually(left arm really struggles with this!)

ALSO, I want to know when the best time move up in weights is. I only got the Bouflex 20 lb ones, and I do plan on getting heavier ones later(my dad wanted to see just how much I'd use them). My friend told me that doing a lot of exercises with small weights is better than doing less with heavier weights. For instance, I can easily curl 20 pounds with my right arm, and 25(with some difficulty, but I can still curl it), but not as many times as 15. With 15, I can keep going on, because it's manageable to lift, and the more times I lift, the more stress I put on the muscle.

ALSO, I just work Triceps and Biceps, they're the 2 main ones, right? What other ones should I look to? I know someone told me not to disregard any muscles, but any other major ones I simply can not afford to miss?

Your friend is wrong about lifting lower weight. I started at 40lb(dumbell) and did that for a month and I never noticed much of a difference. I started doing high weights, low reps. It's probably been about 6 months and I'm up to 150lb.

Aside from skull crushers and curls, you should probably do the Upright Row and Bench Press's (or Pec Fly's if you dont have a bench). Not for your arms specifically but you don't want to have really strong arms and have a weak chest.
