Weightlifting?

i have been weightlifting for about a year. then after a few months of nothing, i have started again.





when i do my bicep curls, i cant seem be be able to lift very much.


when i do 10kg, i can barely manage 10reps with my right arm and less with my left.





this is pathetic in my opinion..





whats going on? i want to build muscle size, so heavier weights are better right?|||This is gonna sound stupid but it is true!





Start on the light weights first and get some protein shake, it will make your muscles grow three times faster, you will even be able to work out 6 times a week because it will heal the muscles so you can carry on building them. It is great because after a few week of intense training you can then go on to heavier weights. Trust me it will happen.





Good luck!

After seven years of bodybuilding, the most important thing I have taken away is that you have to change SOMETHING when your progress begins to slow down. These days, every time I go into the gym I do something different, whether it is the exercises themselves, their order, or the number of sets/reps. If your normal exercises aren't working, change them to ones that are totally unfamiliar to you.





Also, the weight is not as important as many people suggest; it's more important that you FEEL what is going on. Try doing a set of bicep curls until you literally cannot do any more, then, after a short rest, use the next weight down and do another set until you can't do any more, then reduce the weight one more time and do it again.





What's happening here is that your arms are filling up with blood until they reach the point where they're pumped up to the maximum possible level: exercising while your muscles are saturated with blood is the best way to ensure growth.|||Yes heavier is better but your body is deconditioned and you need to start back slowly. It is okay to do higher reps until the muscle is conditioned. Then start increasing weight and do less reps. It will all come together. Do slack off again. I have been training for many years and It is so hard to put on muscle size. You have to work hard at it! Also the clean calories need to be there for the muscle to grow! Make sure you are eating enough and they should be good clean calories not a bunch of crap!|||I'm trying to lose weight too and it's sooo hard.

Too much too soon is bad! Also you can use your weight to build up your arms by pressing you own weight against the wall like you are doing push ups. Have a balanced diet and allot of protein.|||Put as much weight as you can do only 8 reps. When you can do 12 reps with that weight, add more weight until you can only do 8 again. Within 2 months you will notice a big difference in your physique.





Also, low fat chocolate milk will help you recover just as well as creatine or protein shakes.|||do as little reps with a heavy weight,ur muscles only need a short burn every now and then for then to adapt and grow after a while u can add weight or do more reps|||Start lighter. Don't over do it. You might hurt something. I can tell you are right handed so your left will naturally be weaker than your right. Hang in there it will even out.|||you dont have to go heavy you can do more reps with less wait to start and go up as your strenghth goes up
