How much should I start with???

[Håkon]

Hello.
I am 14 years old and I am going to start with Weight Training.
and I was wondering how much kg I should start with on each arm
when I do curls(biceps training?)???

I don't think there is a set weight for beginners, because each person is at a different level when they begin. So instead, focus on the repetitions and guide yourself off that. For example, try going for at least 8 repetitions, I usually do different repetitions for different work-outs, but for arms I go with 12.

So, if you are trying to get 12 repetitions in, then test out a light weight and do 12 repetitions, if you think you can lift heavier, then try a heavier weight. Once you are lifting a certain weight that you cannot exercise 12 repetitions with, then stop there and use that weight until you can. And gradually move from there.

start with something that you can curl 10-12 times that's pretty hard to finish at the end.
it varies for each person.
