How many reps should you be doing? You really don't want your reps to exceed 10-12, and if they do up the weight! The ideal range you want to be lifting is about 5-10 strong, perfectly formed repetitions. I see too many women at the gym using too light of weights, you need to tear down your muscles in order to build them up and you probably won't be able to do that with 5lb dumbbells!
