Am I so weak or no?

[ser89]

I'm sorry but my husband is 5'7", 190 lbs, he's 45, and can lift a transmission if it's not too heavy. Some weigh about 400 lbs, so he needs the forklift, but some are only generally 200. I can lift a transfer case which is about 50 lbs. BUT.. start low b/c doing too much at once screws up ur back. I have sciatica b/c of this shit and he has a lot of back issues too.

He said curl. Can your husband curl a 200 pound transmission? I think not.

If you're a beginner, then that's absolutely fine. Go with a pace and build your body up. Don't let nobody bully you into hurting yourself very badly. When forced, workouts can become very detrimental

That's the amount of weight I was curling when I first started lifting at about 14 years old, weighing 110lbs. So yeah it's light.

If you're a beginner it's quite normal, but you should be aiming to increase the weight. If you train right you'll gain strength pretty quickly. You need to find a good routine to follow.

20lbs for 10 reps... weaker than most. Got to start somewhere. Keep going.

You need to work on Push-ups
If you can do Push-ups Like do 1 pushups like It’s nothing like 1 pushups is easy like there’s no resistance at all then that is Good.

I am confuse 🤔

[PetiteBabe64]

If you can do push-up Super easy just 1 push-up or 5 pushups where it is super easy like there’s no resistance then That is good. Like If push-ups are easy like that then the rest will follow.

[ser89]

I understand. thank you. back to question, 20 ibs for 10 reps are good?

[PetiteBabe64]

Do The hammer curl Throughout the day. So Let’s say you Do it 20 lb hammer curl do it 15 times then few hours later do more and Do it again in late afternoon then before bed Sleep is Necessary
Without sleep You will Not gain much of anything. You also need amino acids without them You can not build muscle.

It is a good load for beginners.
Only for now... Kind of.. not "so"...
