Dumbbell Weight
best dumbbell weight for getting muscles if your 13?
hey, im interested in buying dumbbells so that i can get nice arm muscles in about 8 weeks. I am a 13 year old boy and am wondering what weight should they be in order to get big muscles fast, and how ofter and for how long must i use them...
PS: don't tell me to wait until puberty, ( been there )
Lifitng is fine for your age. I challenge anyone posting here to cite any source that states children should not lift weights.
Your best bet is to buy an adjustable set. If you get a set of dumbells that you can't adjust, you will grow past them quickly. An adjustable set has the best versatility for the money.
Below is a good basic steel set you can find at Sears or Wal Mart
(the resistance bands that vapor suggested would also be a great start)
