Hey, I just turned 16 and im pretty weak for my age :p Im about 5"8 and im skinny. I want to build muscle mass in my upper body, and increase my overall strength. Is this workout good? Will it bring results? I will do it once a day, then increase it later on.

BTW this is with 2 15 pound dumbbells :p

20 flat chest presses
20 bicep curls
10 front raises
20 shoulder presses
15 upright rows
10 shrugs
15 hammer curls
10 french presses (these are hard)
20 half squats

BTW these excersies are found on this site if you dont know what they are

If this wont bring results, please post a workout that i can do with 2 15 pound dumbbells, im willing to do this workout once a day for however long is needed, im dedicated.

Thanks guys, and god bless.
 
its good. eventually youll be able to increase the weight. However to gain muscle, your going to want to increase the weight and decrease the reps. Meaning opposed to doing 20 bicep curls with 15 pounders...try doing maybe 10 reps of 25 pounders if you can. what your doing sounds like its more muscular endurance than muscular strength.

honestly consistently doing this work out with 15lb dumbelss wont do much, but its a good starting block to build off of.

increase weight, decrease reps
