If you're a beginner I recommend starting with 5 sets of 5 reps using dumbells, bars or cables. Use as much weight as you can without hurting yourself and MAINTAIN FORM. Check your ego at the door and maintain form, otherwise you are fucked when you start lifting real weights. You will get hurt. You will learn the bad form and fuck up your shoulder or joints. Don't do it. Those beginner gains are crazy fast, and in six months you will be totally changed. You will be stronger. Push yourself.
