Yep, you could use your iPad as your primary device if Apple would let you, but they’re never gonna let it run OSX

Because 7 is a 6 offender

You’re describing lateral raises, and because the lever (your arm from shoulder to hand) is so long, you are more mechanically disadvantaged vs when you are doing curls. So it’s normal that you can’f lift as much.

Different exercises can have different training frequencies. You can train arms 3 times per week, but deadlifts for example, work huge muscles and are much more exhausting, so once per week is typically enough for those.

Rep ranges for hypertrophy are typically anywhere between 8 and 30 (or more). So stick with 15lbs for the lateral raises and increase your number of reps over time. Once you hit 20 for example, then try increasing the weight and dropping the reps back down to 8, and work your way back up, repeat

The fitness wiki is a great resource, read up a bit and hop on one of the routines recommended there. It will answer a ton of your questions and also give you incredible results compared to just winging it

Genitalia: unremarkable

The split is a carryover from the way Reddit was organized, with the fitness sub being very generalized and larger, and the weightroom sub a lot more structured and focussed on strength and hypertrophy. The structure goes hand in hand with methodical strength training, personally I found the regular training logs to be helpful for accountability. Over the last year or so on Lemmy a few other people had mentioned the same, so I thought I would try my hand at providing that structure here on the fediverse
