[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 264721"] I've heard that doing more sets of weights you can lift without that much problem is better than weights that're just on the edge of your lifting capacity. Not sure if that made sense, but ah well :P I think it's because you can do more sets with more reps in them, which is good for toning biceps/triceps when using dumbells and stuff. An example would eb if you can do 3 sets of 10 reps with a 15KG dumbell, it's e better than doing something like 1 set of 10 on a 25KG one. Not 100% sure if that's right, but it's what people have told me anyway. Obviously you gotta make sure that you balance your exercise, because for example your bicep won't get stronger unless your tricep does too (you probably know that anyway) I;m not an expert, but my sister's boyfriend is a bit of a fitness and karate guru so he's explained a few stuff to me in the past. Btw I;m after a cheapish set of dumbellsmyself, my friend has said Argos does a decent set, but I haven't seen any so far. Any chance you've got any idea where a good place to get them? [/QUOTE]
