As a general rule of thumb, always start with less weight than you think. It’s always easier to progress when something feels too easy than to back off once you’ve overreached. You can use it to warm up and feel out the movement. As you get more experience with dumbbells, you’ll know what weights you used last time and when to push yourself a little harder (though you still want to make sure you do a warm up round!)
Too easy? Go heavier or add reps. Too hard? Go lighter or reduce reps.
