For exercises using dumbbells using both arms at once or one at a time is just a personal choice and has no effect on results.
The “ideal” weight of dumbbells when first starting is relative to the strength you begin at. A simple way to find a starting weight is visit a gym or retail store that has DB’s, do 1 curl with increasing weight till you can barely curl it using strict proper form then caculate 60-70% of whatever that weight was. Then do 3 sets of 10 reps, till too easy, bump up wt.

Are 15KG dumbbells or 20 KG Dumbbells ideal weights to use for a beginner?
How long will it take to see good results?

What is a fascinating topic and currently being studied is how the central nervous system plays a role. As you exercise concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium, enzyme levels decrease, which results in less intense contractions due to less nerves firing, as a built-in defense system. However it is now thought a person’s motivation & emotional state profoundly affects the central nervous system. So in additon to having good genes, for those that excel it might also willpower.

It is important to note that during the actual exercise the goal is to cause micro tearing at the cellular level of the muscle being exercised. So as weird as it sounds if done correctly, you are actually weaker at the end of a “good” exercise session. If you never exercise to failure or progressively add weight as you get stronger, you’re merely running in place since you’ll never get to the point micro tearing happens. It is during rest (mostly sleep) that muscles are repaired,grow.

By resting briefly between sets, this chemical inbalance is partially corrected allowing you to continue to do more reps.
It is thought that Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) glycogen levels drop during hard exercise. Since this is the “fuel” muscles use it is suggested a popular supplement, Creatine Phosphate (CP) can replenish intramuscular ATP levels. In any case, either with or without Creatine, resting between sets allows muscles to “refuel:”

Assuming the same weight is used, it wouldn’t matter. Some basics about physiological effects of weight lifting:
When any muscle is repeatedly contracted a byproduct is a build up of lactic acid in the muscle cells. This results in a complex chemical reaction that inhibits further contractions, thus making it harder and harder to contract the muscle. If you continue without rest, it results in muscle failure in part due to lactic acid accumulation leading to increased intracellular hydrogen.

Would it be better to do more sets with less reps in them or less sets and more reps?

Its relative to how you use certain muscles. Take Apolo Ohno’s quads for example. They would rival any bodybuilders. My opinion, unless you have some special need like Ohno did to focus on in his case his extra powerful upper leg muscles, a more balanced approach works best for most.

The rest of your arm would look underdeveloped…not a look you want. Since your Triceps (back of upper arm) accounts for about 60% of the upper arm’s mass, for most, spending as much time or more on that will give to bigger, more defined arms. Look at nearly any professional body builder. What’s obvious? Well defined seperation between the bicep and tricep and a well developed deltoid (shoulder) muscle. For good looking strong arms, you want a package deal, not just big biceps.

Your body more easily adds lean muscle mass from onset of puberty until mid 20’s for most males because that’s when the hormone Testosterone is at it’s highest level in your life. That assumes you consume enough protein to help fuel the process and do the appropriate exercises. That does not mean older males can’t add muscle mass, just that it will be harder and take longer. Recent studies have confirmed even men in their 70’s can benefit and add muscle mass, strength from weight training.

Hypertrophy, or “getting big”, is characterized by higher numbers of reps with shorter rest periods. There is no single ideal number? of reps, because you will plateau as your body gets used to doing the same thing. Instead, Coach Dos Remedios for Men’s Health recommends the following:
Weeks 1-3: 10-10-10-10 (i.e. 4-sets of 10)
Weeks 4-6: 10-8-8-6
Weeks 7-9: 8-8-8-8
Weeks 10-12: 12-10-8-6
Week 13: BYE
Rest 60 sec between sets, 2:00 between exercises. You’ll adapt to being very winded.

The Panic Puzzle Review
i may not be a professional, but i have been studying people’ s weight lifting techniques and progress for years and i’ve learned three importants things
if you’re a teen or a young adult and are having trouble gaining muscle mass, most of the time your body hasn’t finished matureing meaning you will eventually start to fill out
form over weight, meaning DONT EVER sacrifice your form just to add a little more weight
be patient

As far as weight training, muscle development won’t show till you get rid of the fat.

It’s a myth that you can covert fat to muscle. To lose weight and burn fat, consume only low fat, low calorie foods. Your choice of sardines is too high in fat. While the calories are about the same as tuna (in water) sardines have 4 times the fat of a equal serving of tuna. Another good alternative is chicken breat (not fried) no breaded, remove skin.
As far as exercise do lots of cardio. Anything like walking, running, bike riding, swimming.

Sadly it is a common myth that you can convert fat into muscle. The cell structure of each is very different. Exercising will however BURN fat. You can gain muscle from weight lifting but there’s no magic transformation and you won’t see the result till you lose the fat. The best way to burn fat is consume less calories, drastically reducing fat intake AND do a lot of CARDIO exercise. A brisk walk or bike riding, swimming, would be better than weight lifting as far as burning fat.
