A member asked:
When lifting a 25 pound dumb-bell, does whatever muscle you feel a stretch in get bigger when you lift?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exactly: You'll know it's working when you feel a "burn" after the last few hard reps. I'm very glad you're lifting. It's fun, you'll put on some muscle, and it gets you into a fitness culture that'll go far to promoting your health.
