re: Just wanted to share my experience and get some tips ( and subtle brag)

replace the db curls with shoulder presses

grab that 25lb db and do goblet squats and db snatches. start with snatches from the clean position, work and transition to from the floor

purchase a 50 or 70lb kb and add swings, goblet squats, cleans, then snatches and shoulder presses

get a barbell, weights, and olympic squat stand and add deadlifts, back squats, shoulder presses, etc

just my 2c
