today's upper body workout

[controlit]

Hi, i'm new to this all... I have zero lifting experience just extensive cardio.

these were my lifts today, I just want to know if i was doing the right thing because i feel well, i feel like i put in the work! My body reacted well...

Pull ups - 2x20

DB Curls - 2x5 40 pounds
3x5 30 pounds

BB Curl - 2x 30 pounds
3x 40 pounds

DB bench press - 2x 30 pounds
3x 21 1/2 pounds

Pull downs - 5x5 120 pounds


I wanted to do bench but i didn't really have the confidence this was my first time in the gym... next week

I am 136 pounds and I'm trying to bulkup... So is this a good 'start'? Like I struggle to put my headphones on my head lol, but it's a good feeling not a ache.

sounds good man but lifting 2x isnt going to give you much depending on the person you should generaly be lifting like this instead of 40 lbs 2x star curling 25 lbs and do it 10x - 12x each arm and do it 4 - 6 times untill your arms feel like noodles. lower weight more reps untill you build technique
Welcome to the world of body building
ill recomend a good start for you as well check out some P90X workout vids and look at workout routines on youtube. once you get over the milestone say a couple weeks and see some small results you will be hooked keep up the good work mate !

sweet man thnx for the heads up, I know that 2x is bad.. But sometimes i started out too light or too heavy so i had to change it after my rep... to get my 5 sets in.. I'll do more research.

I'm pumped.. i feel great hopefully this motivation keeps up

GL on your progress too man.
