If I lift 10 pound Dumbbells for each arm 50 times a day, how long will it take me to start looking muscular?

Question

10 pound dumbells, 50X a day. I am a male 5'7'' and 140lb.

Answer 1

Exercise is about being progressive. Here's why:
Try running a mile every day for a month. Here's what you will find out in the beginning it is tremendously hard. As time goes on it gets easier and easier and your body finds the most efficient way (way to burn the least amount of calories) to complete that run.

Case in point: How hard is lifting the dumbbells now as compared to when you started? Much Easier Right? Therefore, make things progressive start building up to a heavier weight. In addition I would recommend varying others things besides just weight such as repetitions, different exercises, etc. This is extremely important!! You mentioned muscular so you mean size I assume. Size can be most efficiently gained by heavy weights and low repetitions. (They are low repetitions because the weight should be heavy enough that only a small amount of repetitions can be completed.)
Try this:
10 reps with a 10 pound weight
rest
8 reps with a 15 pound weight
rest
6 reps with a 20 pound weight.

Don't take it to literally mix things up with your workout and you will require your body to adjust to it's workload.
Try other exercises to:
Barbell Curls
Dumbell Curls
Preacher Curls
Reverse-Grip Curls
Incline Curls
Use other machines other than free weights I especially find cables to be a great alternative and allows you a much greater Range of Motion as well as control.
Hope this helps

Answer 2

If all you do is lift 10 pounds 50 times a day it will take you forever to start looking muscular.

Body fat is a big one when it comes to looking muscular. Do a lot of aerobic activity like swimming, running, biking. Also eat natural foods, and drink lots of water.

If you want more size you don't want to lift a weight 50 times, like the guy above me says it will only give you more endurance. Go with a weight that you can only do 8-10 times, maybe try a 30 pounder. Do that every 2 or 3 days (whenever you're not sore from the last workout) and when you can do that weight more than 8-10 times it's time to add another 5 pounds or so to each dumbell. Size is more about higher weight and lower reps.

Answer 3

You're going in the wrong direction bro. Doing one thing with 50 reps is great. Variety is better. It depends on what you want to look muscular, specific body parts or in general.

It doesn't matter if you can only lift 10 lbs. or 100 lbs. you can still get the look you want.

Hear are 10 exercises to start with that will help your entire body.

Push Ups - works your chest
Sit Ups - works your abs
Dips - chest and arms
Pull Ups- Back and Arms
Military Press - Shoulders
Bicep Curls - Biceps
Donkey Kicks - Triceps
Squat - Legs
Dead Lift - Legs & Back
Bent Over Row - Back

You can look at my source site if you have any questions about a specific exercise. All these exercises can be done with dumbbells and purely body weight. No fancy machines or heavy duty weight plates.

The key is to take only a few of these exercises and perform them per day. For example my routine consists of Arms on Monday/ Chest & Back on Wednesday / Shoulders & Abs on Friday / Sunday Legs. I do 5 sets of 10 reps of each exercise. This helps develop long lean muscle and overall strength. Plus it will help promote what you're after which is that "look".

The other key is your eating habits. You should be eating 6 times a day with smaller portions. I have breakfast, mid morning snack, workout, late lunch, dinner, late snack. Look into possibly a protein shake, but stay away from creatine it is deadly! Cut back on your soda and sweets. More protein, veggies, breads, and fruits.

I've been doing this for 3 months now and I've put on 10 lbs. of pure muscle and I have that "muscular look". A month of this and you will start seeing some major results.

If you’re doing aerobics, you can do it twice a day or 10 times a day or all day long. You could do 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon, or 2 and a half hour the morning then have lunch and do another 2 and a half hours to come back, like going on those 15 miles walks on the beach or 60 miles bike ride in a nice flat countryside. Losing 75 pounds means having to do 262,500 calories of exercising (3,500 calories of exercising for each pound of fat reserves), so you need to just eat enough to cover your BMR and exercise for about 2 hours a day (twice one hour is not as good but still fine if you have schedule or stamina restriction). Do what you can, don’t push yourself too much and you’ll automatically progress as you get stronger so you’ll burn more calories for the same physical effort, as you get faster. You’re saying you’re not into lifting weights at all…you might consider doing calisthenics at some point in the future but for now just using small weights. Calisthenics is using your own body as weight but if you’re heavy, you have a big body so it’s too hard and you don’t need to crumble under your own body weight while doing lunges. You might want to start by using small free weights and seated strengthening exercises so your body weight is less of an issue. Like for aerobics, don’t try to walk/jog, instead use a non-weight bearing exercise like a stationary bicycle where you’re sitting. Muscle mass is the weight loss miracle. Not only does it make you look better, thinner and toner but also makes you stronger so your aerobics get easier and more efficient and you burn more calories while exercising. Also carrying grocery bags/going up the stairs or anything else is so much easier when you have some muscles in your arms/legs. Once you get more muscle mass, your metabolism goes up on a 24/7 basis. Each pound of added muscle mass needs 35/50 calories a day to maintain (not even counting the calories for the exercise). Think about this for a minute…it’s 12 to 18 thousand calories a year…it’s 3 to 5 pounds of fat reserves a year that you would either lose or at least not gain (if you eat it). And that is just for one pound of extra added muscle mass. Also on those days when you’re resting and feeling a little soreness because your muscles are repairing stronger, you can rest assure that you’re burning a lot of calories even if you’re not moving. Nobody who’s out-of-shape is into lifting weights. If you’re obese, you have to consider your own body weight that prevents you from doing simple calisthenics (push-ups, lunges, squats…). On the other hand, you have a unique ability to build up a lot of muscle mass (just because you’re a guy) so go buy a few dumbbells. Also…when I see an obese guy who needs to lose 75 pounds, I see a person who gained weight because he’s not eating healthy. There’s no point of exercising if you’ll still eat junk food. Eat healthier…not less, just healthier (really…eating healthier is eating more…less calories but more bulk).

Answer 8

It will only increase when you increase the weight. Gradual steps. If you have long muscles it takes more to get a bulk look. Talk to a trainer or gym coach.

Answer 9

he metabolic powers certain foods have to make your body burn much more body fat.” It is a way of rating foods, primarily based on “how a lot of calories your physique is going to burn just breaking down the nutrients every single time you consume a particular food.”
Therefore, you are not alone in this battle.
