I'm curling 65 dumbbells but...

[PaperEnterprise]

I never could get more than 45lbs early this year, Im in a new gym where their are less meatheads and I don't know anyone to interrupt me or give unwanted advice on my exercises. I'm more focused and realize curling is getting a lot easier since I do 200 to 300 pushups with curling and 100 to 150 dips.

What is a good weight to curl. I don't wanna get too big. I'm 6'3 and 210...I'd like to also lose around 10 pounds by August. I don't have a six pack, just a flat stomach, how many sit-ups should I do and how many times a week? I have a hard time with squats...how do I get my weight up in squats.

All the help is appreciated.

What ever you can handle based on your rep range, there is no definitive answer

You can do abs a few times a week 1-3 ...3 exercises, reps can vary, add weight to some exercises if needed, you can google tons of ab routines in 4 seconds. Im like the same height and weight as you. Even at 230 I never looked too big, because of our height. Trust me, you will never look too big when you are tall. You will fall into athlete even if you hit 270 with muscle

I have a hard time with squats...how do I get my weight up in squats.
Practice form first and add small amounts of weight like 2.5s,5s,10s, dont be set on trying to add a 45, google starting strength or stronglifts....they have great info on squatting

All the help is appreciated.

^this is main factor @ OP


but my answer goes hand and hand with above, especially if you have underdeveloped ab muscles and your diet is in check

Some people don't realize you can get abs from lifting

If you lift with proper form your abs tighten up to balance your body, so they are getting worked without you knowing

Especially squats and deadlifts. Your core gets strengthened to bear the weight.

U can still get more hypertrophy w/direct ab work

Even if u can squat 500lbs, w/o direct ab work u can still have stronger abs

There's alot of cats out there who want a 6pack and think they have to do certain amount crunches to get it.

I'm not even going to get started on folks who just curl and bench
