Arm strength training for the beginner

[emily_in_nc]

Don't be afraid of going heavier with weights, you're bones will thank you for it in the future!

True...but do not lift a weight that is too heavy to lift with good form and without jerking. If you strain your back trying to lift a too-heavy weight, then you'll just have to take time off to recover. Best to start lighter and add weight slowly - don't just jump into heavy weights right off the bat.
