How many pounds is going to be based on your strength level; for some exercises, 10 pounds may be fine, but you will probably find that you need an assortment of weights (both higher and lower).0

yes.
i would start with 5lbs first. after a couple of weeks, you can superset so do high reps with the 5lbs (about 15reps) and then immediately go up in weight (10lbs) but do 10-12reps. do 2 or 3 sets of this.
if you go heavy to fast, you can hurt yourself or get so sore you won't be able to move.0
