A weight.

[ResonKinetic]

No no, I'm not talking about my weight.

But I'm actually talking about my weight.

You see, I picked up one (1) ten-pound weight (dumbbell) at a garage sale. Its companion was missing, but that didn't deter me. I thought it could still be used.

Anyway, I bought it because it was cheap and I want to build some muscle.

(My body is rather unimpressively bland.)

So, I know I could probably just google this, but I'd like to hear the voice of the people directly, and discuss some exercises I could do with this thing.

With a single 10 pound weight I guess you could do a rotator cuff exercise if you built your way up to it. Besides that nothing really.

[Yosher]

use your left hand to lift it up and down, use your right hand to fap

both arms will become impressively stronger

I might switch every now and then.

Dont listen to this. He knows nothing.

Mm, you can do a lot with a single dumbell surprisingly. You can do goblet squats for your legs, get ups for your abdominals, presses, snatches, split squats and even one arm rows.

I think you missed the part where he said it was ten pounds.

And? If he's never worked out before, ten pounds is the perfect weight. Starting with 25 pounds right out the gate isn't something I would recommend. What he has is perfect to start with. After a month ten pounds won't be really helpful though.

So after a month he's stuck at a point where he can't progress and he'll fall out of wanting to lift weights.

Pretty much, but ten pounds is still okay to start with. After he'll need more equipment or a gym membership.

Uh, I can just buy a fuggin' heavier weight, man. It's all good.

[SWAT One]

Eat it, like a real man.

Your original post conveyed to me that you didn't plan to go beyond just having a single 10 lb weight. Carry on.

[ResonKinetic]

Yeah...

So I should go about this by doing certain exercises every day for a month and then move on to different sets of weights?

I wouldn't say a month, but whenever you start doing too many reps without being tired you should move up in weight.

[ResonKinetic]

Ahh, so basically do what I can with what I've got until it loses its effect.

I'm mostly concerned with my biceps, abdomen, and thighs.
