Question On My Curl
I have been bodybuilding for 2 months now and started only curling dumbells 12.5lbs (yes, weak).
But now would it be better for me to curl 20 lbs for 3 sets of 10 or 25 lbs for 3 sets of 6?

its good to change your routine up every now and then keep your body guessing.. if u want to build size and mass go for heavier sets

ive actually found that doing heavy weight for low reps helps better than high reps for strength but different things work for different people.
