FOR YOUTHS. OF SEVENTEEN YEARS OF AGE AND UPWARDS. (_Using at first four-pound dumb-bells._) When the pupil has increased the number of movements of No. 1 to 80, he should keep at the maximum with the same weight dumb-bells for six months; he may then increase 1lb., beginning the course over again, and so on every six months. The heaviest bells used, however, should not exceed 10lbs. I am aware that in the former edition of the book I placed 20lbs. as the limit, but the experience gained in my schools has taught me that for the _majority_ of men this is far too heavy. It is always better to use bells too light than too heavy; the latter are liable to cause strains and other injuries. No. of No. of Increase Exercise.
