Okay i know that this is probably the stupidest question ever, but im pretty confused. If im doing dumbbell curls with a spinlock dumbbell handle and 10lb weight plates on each side, does that mean im curling 10lbs or 20lbs?

Question about spinlock dumbbell plates?
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012Would 5 pound weights be effective for dumbbell flies?
Monday, November 14th, 2011
I only have access to 5 pound weights and I started to do 300+ curls on each arm.. I don’t feel any burn but it makes my arms feel like jello. I’ve read that dumbbell flies are pretty good for your chest and arms but I only have access to 5 pound dumbbells. Would 5 pounds do anything for dumbbell flies?

My non dominant hand forearm hurts when i lift weights?
Tuesday, August 9th, 2011
Why does my non dominant forearm hurt when i lift weights especially dumbbell curls , the pain is located at the back of the forearm near between the elbow and the wrist . The pain just automatically comes in when i lift weights then gradually fades away when i drop the dumbbells , It just feels like my forearm would go cold , then the pain comes in . Is there any way to prevent this? or cure it? thanks

What is the best way to lift weights to get good arm definition?
Monday, July 25th, 2011For curls does it matter if your hand is parallel or perpendicular to the floor? Are the only muscles in your upper arm biceps and triceps? What about shoulders and chest. Currently I have a 20 pound dumbbell.

Weight Lifting/training for kids?
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011Hello everyone!
I am a 16 year old teenager, and I enjoy to box (boxing), play basketball,fand ootball. But what I like most of all is weight lifting.
I have a 5 year old little cousin and I have been making him lift weights for about a month and a half now. The reason I am having him lift weights is because when I was his age, I did not have many chances to lift weights or play sports. Now that I have saved up enough money for a home gym, my 5 year old cousin now has a chance to lift weight, and get in shape. Anyways, I want him to play basketball when he builds muscle and strength, so I have been making him lift weights. He enjoys it very much. He always feels like he’s superman after each workout 
I didn’t get to do this when I was little. But after some research, I have discovers some myths about weight lifting for kids. For example, in the future, the kid will not have strong bones, stunts growth etc etc. Here is the schedule I do with my 5 year old cousin:
Sun:Rest
Mon:Arms & Shoulders
Tue:Legs
Wed:Abs
Thur:Arms & Shoulders
Fri:Legs
Sat:Everything (Legs, arms, abs etc)
When I work out his abs, I stand on his feet, and have him do sit-ups while hugging onto a 5 LB plate.
For his legs, I just have him do squats, but with no weights, and a little bit of running on a treadmill.
For arms and shoulder, I have him do dumbbell curls, and bench press with a curl bar.
So please let me know if this is a good idea or Should I stop and wait until he gets a little older.
Thank you so much!!
P.S.
Sorry for the VERY LONG DESCRIPTION

Amount of Exercises & Dumbbell Questions.?
Saturday, April 23rd, 2011I’m beginner working with dumbbells every night now and I was wondering for the amount of exercise to do per day or week.
I currently do 3 sets of 15 reps each of regular dumbbell curls – with push ups in between every set.
Is it okay for me to do this every night? Or should I do it every other night.
Also, when I’m doing dumbbell curls, is it okay if I do one arm then alternate to the other, or is it best to do both at the same time? (example. One rep of the left, then one rep of the right, continuing till I do 15 for each)
Thanks!
