New to lifting weights.
Is lifting till I'm feeling a burn then feel like throwing up then stopping a good way to start.
I can only do like half a set of 4 before I tap out and I physically can't lift.
@Mr_NutterButter what are you doing in the gym now? Any metrics or program?
@wizardmanperson I'm just looking to make the front of my arms a little bigger so I started doing hammer and reverse curls. And I was recommended to do 15 reps in a set of 4 I was able to do around 2 and a half so almost 3 sets.
And other context I've never lifted before so my arms are weak as shit.
Can't even do 5 pushups.
I tap out at 3 but can force my body to do 4 with pure will power
I would just caution you on that approach. A aesthetical body is a symmetric one. There's too many guys who work only arms and end up looking buff paraplegics.
Compounds are great for general strength and symmetry.

@wizardmanperson Gotcha thanks for the advice. I'm also doing leg's tbh way more then my arms because I enjoy it more then lifting.
I only just started lifting to make my body more symmetrical funny enough. Also should state I'm not going to a gym I been buying equipment to work out at home. So far I have 4 dumbbells, Resistance bands, a treadmill & ab roller.
Been meaning to get more stuff but I've been doing mainly exercise that doesn't require much equipment.
Find a door frame, stand a little less than arms length away from it, put a hand on each side at chest height, then slowly lower yourself towards the frame and push off for a lighter pushup that will work a lot of the smaller muscles in your body first.
Do the same in reverse for rows for your back muscles. - stand in the door frame, grab each side with your hands facing outward and slowly fall backwards then pull yourself upright.
While walking on the treadmill, slowly go through a lot of the motions for lifts you want to do without weight. That gets your body more used to the motions under a sharp increase in blood flow and can make you feel less prone to passing out or throwing up under strain.
