Question by Benjamin Button: Lifting dumbell weights, how much should I start off with?
I am trying out some dumbells, do you think 15 pounds is the right amount for a 135 pound 17 year old male just starting out lifting weights?

Best answer:

Answer by dead_man_a666
no, lighter

maybe 5, or even 10

remember, its better and healther to lift 5 pounds 1000 times, rather than lift 1000lb, 5 times (figure of speech)

THE GARAGE GYM BUMPER WEIGHT PLATES ARE EXTREMELY SOLID AND GREAT QUALITY FOR CROSS FIT AND OLYMPIC WEIGHT LIFTING!! The Garage Gym Bumper Weight Plates are the best bumpers on the market. With their consistent width across each denomination (25, 20, 15 & 10kg), heavy duty steel insert, and one part construction (not machined together with bolts), they’re a radical and favorable departure from what is currently offered on the market. New improved and patented design!!
