Chest and Arms

I have a set of dumbells and I need to work out my chest, arms back (lats etc), what are the best exercises? Could you give descriptions and how many repitions with what weights and how often etc?

Thanx for any help....

I recommend you swing by misc.fitness.weights.

Short answer:

* Bench Press (or Push-Ups) * One-Arm Row * Overhead Press * Chin-Ups (or more Row)

Do a warm-up set or two followed by a work set or two, 8 to 12 reps, two or three times a week. That should get you started.

etc), what are the best exercises?>>

Welcome to sweat and metal.

Chest (pecs): bench press and flys.

Shoulders (delts): lateral raises front, side, back, and military press

Arms: biceps=curls, triceps=french press (emphasize for m.a.), forearms=reverse curls and wrist rolls

Back (lats): bent over rowing

Go to the local book store and leaf throught the muscle mags. Go the the library and check out a few weight lifting books.

Good luck.
