The DB's in my gym go by 5 pound increments. I'm wondering if im doing a two arm exercise that requires DB's, let's say DB curls, would a 5 pound increase be equivalent to a 10 pound increase overall because you're increasing 5 pounds on each arm? (i.e. if I go from curling with 20lb DBs to 25lb DBs, would that be considered equal to a 10lb increment on a BB lift like bench)
I'm a little confused because the FAQ says you should try and increment 10lbs on upper body lifts, but it seems different to me if your incrementing 10lbs on a BB lift than on a DB lift, because on a BB lift you'd increase 10lbs overall, while on a DB lift you would be incrementing 10lbs on each arm, 20 overall, if you went from curling 20 to 30lb DBs.
I just read that and it sounds confusing as hell, but it's the best I can do. Thanks in advance.
