Would 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?

      Dumbbell Exercises to tone arms..?? (PLEASE HELP)?

      Sunday, June 19th, 2011

      I’m 5′6 and 160 lbs and i’m having trouble toning my arms. Especially my upper arms, where that typical flab is under the arms. Can you guys suggest any good websites or anything with specifics on certain workouts that are effective. I only have 5 pound dumbbells so that’s about as much as i can work with at this point. I’m also hoping to find something that is also useful for targeting abs with dumbbells.

      I tried googling some but couldn’t find much of anything.
      I’m looking for anything from step by step (preferably with pictures) to videos.

      Any help is appreciated :)

        What do people mean when they say that I am big?

        Saturday, May 21st, 2011

        Do they mean big as I am tall, or big that I am muscular? I am 6′3" 200 pounds, not fat and I lift heavy but I not buffed (methinks). To me big is like Vin Diesel or The Rock (remember those guys?). I can easily curl 45 pound dumbbells, and under certain light you can see my muscle definition, but I do not consider myself to be big. Yet people always mention how big I am. Just the other day a female friend of mine cooked me some food and I asked why she gave me so food on the plate when she hardly had any and she said "because you are so big!". I really do not see it. Then I wonder if perhaps they mean I am tall.
        I left out the word "much" in "she gave me so MUCH food"

          Where should I buy weights?

          Sunday, July 11th, 2010

          I have a bench at home and I’m looking to buy 150-200 pounds of weight plates and a pair of 35 pound dumbbells. So far, I have seen that the standard price is about per pound. Can a get new weights for a lower price or will I have to either get new weights at per pound or look for used weights? -thanks.
          I know about sites like ebay and craigslist. Are there stores that sell new weights for less than per pound?

          Working out, Weights, P90X?

          Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

          Okay, I got P90X, it says to have a yoga mat, resistance bands, weights and a pull-up bar (or you can use resistance bands)

          Okay, a few questions. I have two 30 pound dumbbells but I can only lift those for 3 to 5 reps, and I don’t have resistance bands, but I do have a yoga mat. Okay my questions are, I looked online at some things at wal-mart, some weight sets, and seperate weights, with bars and clamps etc. Also some resistance bands.

          I am looking for cheap weights, maybe a set with a dumbbell bar and weight plates, and on the resistance bands, how do you know how much weight they are equal to? and I need some attachment to go to my door to let me do pull up exercises on them. (instead of having a pull-up bar)

          Any advice on what to buy and where to buy it? I am broke pretty much and the cheaper the better.
