I have been doing resistance training on my Weider Max home gym for about three weeks and have had a hard time determining how much 'weight' to set for some of the exercises.
Lets use standing bicep curls as an example - the directions tell me to grab the handles with my arms by my sides and curl my hands up to my shoulders, bending the arm and keeping the elbows by my sides (summarized, better description on the poster with a picture). If I'm using too much resistance to curl all the way up to my shoulders I'm using too much, right? I would imagine it is important to complete the full range of motion of the exercise as described rather than just going halfway or three quarter of the way up with more resistance?
