Determine the Right Weight to Start With
Begin by assessing your current strength level. Get a good set
of dumbbells that range from three to ten pounds (more if you
have weightlifting experience or expect to increase your
strength considerably). Hold the 5-pound weight in your dominant
hand and do as many biceps curls as you can before tiring. If
you can do more than 15 curls without feeling your muscle tire,
you need to use a higher weight. Click here to read the rest of this article ... You know itâs bad when the Surgeon General issues a warningthat lack of exercise is hazardous to your health.

Because Knowledge IS Power...
| Strength Training for Your Arms! If you have weak or under developed arms you will have a very difficult time with any other upper body exercises. Your upper arms, more than almost any other muscle group, will get the most positive or negative comments from people, depending of course on the over-all development of your upper arms. For most people, both men and women, upper arm development can really draw attention to your over-all physique and can have either a positive or negative affect on your self-confidence. If your upper arms are thin and weak, or just plain flabby you won't feel as comfortable as you could if your upper arms were firm, toned & lean. For any upper arm exercises to work, whether it's biceps exercises or triceps exercises, you have to use a variety of upper arm exercises in different combinations in order for your upper arms to develop - regardless of what goals you have with your upper arm exercises. You should vary your grip and width when performing not only these exercises, but all others. Why? Consider the barbell curl as an example. Most guys tend to use a wider grip, which works the short head of the biceps on the inside of the arm, while forgoing a narrow grip, where the biceps' long head is emphasized. When someone who does this places his hands on his hips, the long head on the outside of his arm is usually small and disproportionate compared to the inner arm. By using the same grip or width all the time, you create an imbalance in size and strength. For most people, both men and women, the main reason for a lack of good upper arm development is due to a lack of variation and periodization. The list of exercises for your upper arm muscles that you can do is almost endless. You can do dozens of different upper arm exercises with free weights, different exercises for your upper arm muscles with numerous types of machines, different upper arm exercises with body weight, and on-and-on. You can also perform almost any exercises for your upper arm muscles in a seated, standing, incline bench or lying down position. Unfortunately most people don't realize that a lot of upper arm exercises stress your arms in the same manner and as such, upper arm exercises that do this should not be used in the same arm workout. When you exercise, your brain releases chemicals called endorphins that produce a feeling of euphoria - the so called "runner's high" that people can become chemically addicted to. Without it, you feel irritable and out of sorts till you exercise again. So you go on exercising, never stopping to listen to what you body is saying. And what its saying is, "Stop." The reason exercise addicts keep pushing themselves probably lies in what happens when they don't work out. Psychologists at the University of Massachusetts at Boston studied the psychological consequences of being unable to exercise. They compared 30 male and female runners who had been laid low by minor Click here to read the rest of this article ... Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from the perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing the basic exercises that constitute the core of most bodybuilders' training regimes.It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail the processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using the correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights.
