I’m a skinny dude trying to build my arms and chest. I have a routine, but I’m not sure how much weight to start with and how often to raise it. Any suggestions?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
u should lift enough pounds to have resistance but still be able to keep good form
start with lower weight, more reps…that will tone u
then decrease the reps and add the weight..that will make u stronger/bigger
but keep good form!! if u dont do it right then u can injure urself or wont see results
I’m slightly new to this and if you’re benching then start off with about 10-15kg. If you’re doing bicep curls then start off with about 2-3kg that’s what I started with about 2 months ago and I’m getting more muscly! Just know that doing a lot of reps is better than struggling to pick up a heavy weight<<
Well that depends on your age, really.
If you’re 14-17 I would start with five or ten pounds.
If you’re older than seventeen you could probably start with a fifteen pounder. Just work your way up as you need to.
