What is a good weight to start lifting to imporve arm muscles for volleyball.?

Question

I'm trying to get the best results in 3-6 months. How often should I make the weights heavier?

Answer 1

Push ups. that is all you will need.  If you can do those, go to chin ups.

Answer 2

A good wieght is about 10-15 pounds. i have experince cause i play basketball. i know that you might not care about what i say. but i know how to play volleyball and in my school we have to lift wieghts and i usually do aout the same amount as i put to start off. i started off in bench press with 10 pounds and know i can max out with 95. i improved alot. and trust me you will to.

Answer 3

i would start with 10 to 15 then work your up. i did that and with a month and a half i was lifting 50 lbs or more

Answer 4

if you never lifted weights before your best bet is to start by lifting 5 to 10lbs. if that seems light go up one. just a reminder just because a weight seems light it doesnt mean that it won't make you sore in the long run. I suggest you do push ups as many as you can every day when you get up in the morning and at night. that will be your biggest help. If you are really into the sport like me but yourself some wrist weights and serve your volleyball as many times as you can. it works

Answer 5

well if youre young prolly 10 maybe even 5, but then move up like a couple pounds a week, but if youre older then like 15 [unles ur to weak, which theres nothign wrong with that] and move up to 17 then 20 and oyu get my drift. hope it works for you. =]

Answer 6

Donno, but ya might wanna start off around 10-15 pounds then move on up a few pounds a week.

Answer 7

To tell you the truth, I don't think weight lifting is that important. I know people who can lift so much, but it doesn't help them. I think if you have a good coach, and you train really hard, you'll be fine. I know people who have never lifted in their life, and they are amazing volleyball players. But that's just my opinion.

Answer 8

I dont' know shet about this, but I'll take a shot. The biggest volleyball muscle is probably the um...triceps? The muscle behind the biceps, which you use when hitting the ball. You might want to do butterflies too, where you work the pec region. and your abs of course as they are the foundation of our strength. I can't say how much you need to increase to, b/c it takes time. Start with what your body can handle without pain, and gradually increase every week or something.

Answer 9

I would add more weight every week and a half maybe even every 2 weeks.  But if you are just starting out don't lift too much b/c if you hurt yourself you can't lift at all
