Number of Reps:
If you are trying to put on muscle size then you should be lifting as heavy as you can for six to 10 reps at a time.
If you are trying to tone up and get defined you should be lifting 15 to 25 reps at a time of less weight.
If you are new to training and you're just trying to get started, then you should be lifting 10 to 15 reps at a time.
Weight:
You should lift the weight that you can barely push with good form and technique by the last rep. Start with a light weight until your form and technique is on point. Once you feel comfortable with the exercise then you can increase the weight.
1. Pull-Ups: Body Weight 6-15 reps
2. Dips (arms behind back): Body Weight 6-20 reps
3. Shoulder Presses: 6-10 reps (increase size), 10-15 reps (beginner), 15-25 reps (definition)
4. EZ Curl Bar Bicep Curls: 6-10 reps (increase size), 10-15 reps (beginner), 15-25 reps (definition)
5. Medial Deltoid Lifts (pictured above): 6-10 reps (increase size), 10-15 reps (beginner), 15-25 reps (definition)
If you're new to weight-training, allow yourself to be a beginner and start with light weights so you do not injure yourself. As you feel comfortable with the exercises, you can increase in weight or reps depending on your goal.
