2) How do I know how much weight to use?
Start with 3-5 lbs on each exercise. If by rep 12 you don’t feel any
burn in the targeted muscle, move the weight up! You want a really good
burn by the time you get to the end of the reps.
3) How do I know if the weights are too heavy?
You will know! If you feel any pain in your back, lower your weight.
You don’t want to compensate in any way.
4) Will I use the same weights for every exercise?
No, you will most likely need 2 different weights (ex: 5lbs and 8 lbs).
Your biceps will be able to lift more and your shoulders will lift
less. They are smaller muscles and thus lift less weight.
5) Can I work out 7 days a week?
You need a day of rest each week. Your body needs time to rebuild
itself. If you work out 7 days, you are likely to burn out quickly and also
increase your risk of injury.
