Okay im a fifteen year old guy, im 5'10 and ive been swimming for about 8 years and been thai kickboxing recently with a couple of friends. (not showing off) I've got pretty beefy/decent arms I guess, they're quite muscly and I just recently got 2 5kg dumb bells for further weight training and for ripping/toning the entire arm. I suppose I can feel a burn, but after about 15 bicep curls, and then I struggle to do 30 (for each arm), and I stop at that. My friend told me to use 10 kgs, he told me he manages 15 bicep curls and then rest and do some more later. But I've heard that too much strain can lead to muscle and joint problems. I suppose they are decent but I think I can manage with 10kg (but strain myself). Should I continue using 5kgs or upgrade to 8, 10kg?/
 
I started off with 5kg and now I can do 7.5kg (probably more if i push myself) and I do 12 reps I think that you should do 8kg see how you go for 2 weeks and if that gets easy then do 10kg for another 2 weeks and change to a higher weight after that.
Though I only do weight every second day so that my muscles have a rest and a chance to grow.
 
continue using 5kg. its not the weight that matter, but consistency. straining yourself will give a "shock" to your body and could lead to joint problem.
