I just purchased a weight bench and was wondering how much weight should i lift if i just want to tighten up...I already have the bulkiness to my frame but i would love to tone up a bit...I have a curl bar that i'm going to use for now and i have a single 15pound plate and a single 25 pound plate already...so i'm thinking about going to modells and getting one of each of the same pound plate, a 15 and 25....How much should i lift u guys think if i'm just trying to tone? how often should i do the bench press? and how long will it take to see some results? All help would definitly be greatly appreciated.
