Is it bad to have your arms shaking?

ChrisYi Posts: 126 Joined: 2001/05/05	2001/07/03, 09:08 PM I was doing some dumbell incline presses yesterday and I noticed after the 7th rep that that my arms were shaking. I didn't continue to do an 8th rep. Is the shaking anything bad? What was it?

You're doing things that your body isn't used to. The shaking will go away in just a short time. Nothing to worry about at all.
