   Trying to do basic weight training for my biceps but I'm guessing 10LB is just not enough. 20 mins and I ain't even feeling it, or I'm training like shit

     @coolboymew are you even a man if you can't do 72 reps of 40 pounds single-handed?

     @coolboymew Yeah that’s not enough. Could invest in some dumbbells

     @Ghislaine yeah, definitively gonna do that. What do you think would be a good weight to have? Probably something I could customize I guess

     @coolboymew Look on Craigslist people are always getting rid of crap they thought they’d use

     @coolboymew I have kettlebells in 50, 35, and 22 pounds (1 of each) which suits my needs pretty well. Dumbbells are cheaper than kettlebells but less versatile.

     @coolboymew start with Bodyweight rows, then move to pull-ups, then a backpack with weight or go to one arm pull-ups. They are overlooked but great for building biceps

     @coolboymew @Ghislaine from what ive read it does less damage to your joints if you do fewer reps with higher weight. try to actually follow a proper strength training routine like starting strength. they have a pretty good free mobile app that tells you everything you need to do.

     @coolboymew @Ghislaine never mind. i meant to say stronglifts 5x5. i havent used the app in more than a year and i just checked it out again and its only offering 7 day free trials now. if youre really interested the version on my old phone is 2.6.21.
     i dont know exactly when they stopped letting you use it for free but you can find that old version here.

     @coolboymew @PapaPole Stronglifts is good but requires a barbell and plates and a rack/power cage. I wouldn’t worry about joint damage as long as you use good form and don’t do so many reps you give yourself an RSI
