thank you both for your explanations, no wonder I could never find a number for "heavy" off to google and visit amazon!

ayalajane, funny you should post this I was just looking at strength training youtube for old lady beginners. I have no upper body strength at all, I have also been doing some reading on the net and understand women need to lift and lift heavy just like men..but if your just starting out day 1 and want to do bicep curls,…
