You're CNS probably isn't used to being put under that much strain/stimulus. Do you do your movements in a slow controlled manner or in a quick jerky motion? Also are you purely training your arms, because that's extremely impractical and not recommended.0

Do they shake from the get-go or after a large number of reps? If the latter, that's called "getting tired".1

How did y'all learn proper form? Lots of YouTube? I want to start weight training just to be well round and fit. But I don't want to walk up into the weight room and start doing crap wrong and get hurt doing it.0

I started in group classes at the Y. Not as expensive as a personal trainer. Mark Rippetoe has some great videos on form. You can find them online.0 -

You just need to get stronger. It will come in time. Before long you will be picking up heavier weights.1 -
