Am I doing something wrong? My arms are killing me:(

I found an old single dumbell in the stable it was just sat there in the corner gathering dust...

So I got it quickly googled training with a single dumbell and it's common practice apparently and all the rage lol

So after looking at some exercises to do I did 45 mins on the treadmill then I did some curls and stuff with the single weight.

I counted the weight and it comes in at 10kg...

Anyway to cut a long story short...my arms today are killing me...not just sore...have I done something wrong?
:o
 
I mixed 5 tonne of concrete last summer...8 hour days on the spade shovelling gravel in the mixers....

My arms are strong but this was medium weight over and over....curling this barbell is different...

Like this:

Why do you think the lower part of your body doesn't need work?

Also, you googled exercises to do with a single db and all you came back with was db curls?

Step back with one leg.

Elevate the rear leg onto a bench or something.

Hold the single dumbell overhead.

Squat.


It's not that difficult. ;)

10KG is pretty heavy.....for a beginner.

Shall I go lighter? Tbh I'm not sure the weights will come off they seem to be rusted on...

Doubt it ;)

What are you trying to achieve - what are your goals?

Loose weight and firm up...I have been doing 45mins a night on the treadmill...

Eating super healthy....green smoothie for lunch with mackerel fillet...today...

No beer...

My butt cheeks are tender at the mo but not as bad as my arms....what I don't want to do is hurt myself by overdoing it on the weights....

Seriously considering removing his access to this forum.

Just feels like trolling. Am I being too harsh?

I'm asking advice that's all...I asked before and got side tracked with work...

I haven't a few weeks off so am getting moving...I have one dumbell and a treadmill

I have lifted weights since I was 16....

And it's common on the web training with one barbell

It's not trolling:confused: on any level

why spend good money if I can train with what I have?

10kg dumbbell will last for a week, if you've been "lifting weights since 16" you'd know better, your legs are also skinny, weak and far from muscular!

My legs are solid muscle...they have been carrying around a bit of timber for decades....I'm not telling fibs

Do you buy every supplement you see an ad for? These magazines and websites are reliant on fad workouts to bring in people that want easy fixes and simple things like this that require next to no knowledge and no real work.

Don't believe everything you read.

Ok you have convinced me...that's why I asked the question...ask me about home cinema installs and I can help you...

I'm going to start off small...my arms today feel damaged..seriously...

I'm going to watch diet ...use the treadmill for 45 mins every night and do some sit-ups ,press ups and ditch the barbell...

I'm going to try and trim down and firm up...I want to ditch the moobs if I can and loose the gut that's my goal...
 
I feel bullied in this thread :(

My uncle who is a black belt in wing chun said I could firm up with bags of sugar ...it's not all about big weights... He mentioned low weights high reps
