please respond!!!! reps per arm?

sundiss2003 Posts: 3 Joined: 2010/02/20	2010/05/31, 03:20 PM hi if i'm doing say lateral raises it is stating to do 20 reps...is this ten per arm so equalling 20 of 20 per arm and thus being 40? please answer cause i can only do relatively small weights on 20 reps per arm! many thanks brad

Meaning do 10 each arm(20 Total reps) OR do 20 reps each arm, but the key is do it and record it the same way, consistently. By being consistent you don't mess up the tracking.
