Exactly. Save the heavy weight for when you're way up there in strength/size.

I usually do 3x10 or pyramid goin 1st Set: 10 reps, 2nd Set: 8 reps, 3rd Set: 6 reps.
That's a good program too. I mix it up. Gotta keep the muscle confused
On a side not I bench 135 and do 5 reps of 5
So he shouldn't listen to you is what you're saying?

depends on if your looking to build muscle or tone muscle if your toneing its light weight with heavy reps and for building muscle its heavy weight with light reps

i use to curl 100 pounds for 3 sets of ten until i got to my desired size then cut down to fifty with 5 sets of 20 to tone it all up

Sup everyone, So recently(monday) i started lifting weights...the 3 day (wednesday) my arms became real sore and i couldn't "bend" or "straighten" my arms past 90 degrees it was stuck at 90degrees every time i tried to straighten it i would go under immense pain?
Has anybody felt it before?

I stopped weight lifting,if you overdo it too much it messes with your growth instead of you getting taller you'll be one of those short muscular dudes. I just run track and do sit ups.

also diet has alot to do with it aswell if you not eating right and healing right you wont get the best results

My way works better for me. I can curl 135 for reps, but it just hurts my muscles more and I have to take longer to recover, plus it doesn't really do anything for me. So now I do 1 set at 55 pounds for 15 reps and then do 4-5 sets of 12 reps at 75 or 85 depending on how I'm feeling. I get a huge pump and bigger gains. But every body is different. I don't look anywhere near as strong as I am, and my diet is top notch haha

You're a wimp, like spongebob

Haha that's rude. Dude's probably just starting out and has no idea what he's doing. Probably doing half reps for curls haha. Remember when you first started lifting? I do. I benched and squated the bar and that's it. I've come a long way haha

There are many reasons why you might be sore. Since the soreness seems like a surprise to you, I would assume that there is actually more than one cause for your soreness.

1. Soreness is normal. It is normal to be a little sore after any strenuous activity. It indicates that you actually pushed your body and that your body is recovering. That being said...

2. You overworked your muscles. This is the most likely cause of your soreness. You probably pushed yourself too hard, too fast. This is an easy mistake to make.

3. Improper form. There are a lot of people who lift weights that have very poor form. This leads to injuries and chronic pain. You should always use proper form. This means full range of motion, no jerky motions, and not using momentum.

4. Dehydration and/or improper nutrition. Water is important, and most people don't drink enough. If you are starting a new workout program, you probably need to also increase you water intake. This also applies to nutrition. You need to adjust your diet according to your new workout. Depending on what you are lifting for, this could mean increasing you protein consumption.

5. You aren't stretching (enough). So many gym rats do not stretch properly, if at all. Supplementing you lifting with some sort of stretching regiment will help you prevent undue soreness.

You should start with the bar or lightest weight to get the form down then work your way up depending on the lift.
The pain is normal, it's called delayed onset muscle soreness you'll feel it less as you get stronger.

Well i am new to weightlifting, I'm doing it at a proffesional gym.
I felt the soreness when i got home i took a shower and fell asleep i woke up middle of the night and felt that my arms weren't bending.
I stretched before gym and didn't after.(My mistake)
I didn't go to the gym the following day , i went friday but didn't workout.(The gym got new equipment so we helped out getting them out of the truck they came in etc.
Today i lifted something heavy out of the car it straightend my arms i could properly use them with a little pain , so i felt the soreness again last night, this time i'm just gonna rest and wait it out.
Since i started at the gym i'm eating alot of food with high amounts of protein and drinking alot of water.

i quite with the weights all together now i just work out with my body weight and do pull ups and push ups and triceps dips and squats and run and stuff like that i find it alot better and i still get the same work out especially with the pull ups at a weight of 205 doind a few sets of 15 pull ups in a few different positions really is an effective work out
