Best tone or bulk workout + many tips/advice

My last work out post was super long and poof. It disappeared. I saved none of it. So this is that same post recreated. 

The entire post could be summed up like this

Back against the wall only use your arm muscle

Bulk=heavier weight and shorter amount of reps

Decrease weight after each

Example

Starting with a 15lb dumbbell x 15 reps next 10lb x 15reps last of three 5lbs x 15lbs

Each week increase weight to next heavier. Example 15lbs would increase to 20. From 20 to 25 and continue till your noodles can't 

Tone arms lighter weight many reps. 3 sets would look like starting weight 10lbs x 50 reps

Starting weight should leave your arm pretty tired at 50

Tips and my two different workout routines on building bulk arms or toned arms. 
I'll start with the easier and probably more common. Tone    
Not a fun feeling to jiggle but before I explain how. I first want to point out some important things. 
Calories are calories 10 Twinkies @ 280cal = a fairly unhealthy 2,800 calories 
But
A decently healthy meal that's 2,800 calories are the same thing. 
Calories are your friend but just like in life if you have a ridiculous amount of friends you learn quality is more important than quantity. 
Ever herd the saying "abs are made in the kitchen"
Unless you're Michael Phelps burning 30,000 calories a day. Then you need to monitor your calorie intake. It's simple. You need to burn more than you eat and if you have that extra jiggle everywhere; then you've been storing calories for too long. 
If you take in 2,000 a day then you have to burn those 2,000 before any of the jiggle can slowly fade away. 
Christian bale supposedly ate only an apple a day dropping unhealthy weight for his role in the movie "the mechanic". 
If you keep your everyday routine but cut your calorie intake by half. Example, you burn 2,000 a day but you also ate 2,000 calories. Well unless you put in extra time at the gym. Take that same 2,000 intake but 2 hours at the gym puts you at 3,000 calories.  1,000 calories will go towards the reduction of that jiggle. 
Or if you're Christian bale 90 calories intake from 1 apple a day and burn 2,000 + calories. Now that's an extra 1900 calories to burn away the jiggle. 
(I use this example because many people know who Christian bale is and his body in the mechanist (4 months to drop 63lbs vs Batman (5 months later) it's almost sickening. I'm not a doctor so I highly discourage anyone to follow his method and speak to someone about a healthy calorie intake vs calorie burn. But the further those two number are has the biggest impact; low intake of calories + high amounts of calories burned = fast weight reduction. So while the average Americans daily 2,000 cal intake will take longer burning 3,000. You could decrease your intake to 1,500 maybe even 1,000 thus double, even tripling the amount of time you see results faster and faster. You should speak to a doctor or specialist about a safe diet. Results will vary but it's not worth the risk to possibly causing irreversible damage. Results at the gym should be looked at as a life style change slow but long term and not putting yourself in danger because you want less jiggle for Valentine's Day. 

Tips for newbie work outlets
Pick a routine and stick with it. Example 3 or 4 days at the gym for 1 hour maybe 2 hours. And when motivation is gone, the gym being the last place on earth you want to be. Just go. After a few minutes on the treadmill warming up will give you such a boost by the second hour you'll have to talk yourself out because you'll feel like a million bucks the rest of the day. Just don't forget to shower. And because I’m a fat kid I wait till after the gym to eat. 
Tip 2 it's not what you eat. It's how much. Simple math. Burn more than you bring in. So your normal 4 slices of pizza just have 1. You can look at it this way. Avg 20 minutes on a tredmill will burn off 1 slice of pizza. Are 3 slices of pizza worth an hour running on a treadmill? Give yourself a cheat day or 2 they are beautiful. Just don't make cheat day every other day. Your cheat day might consume 30,000 calories. Your body is by no means going to be able to store just a tiny bit. You might spend an hour in the bathroom the next day with a konga line of poo. Be great full all that poo, just more calories you’d have to burn. 
Tip 3 
Especially important for the ones who never went to the gym and have no idea what weights to use. Always start off well within your comfort zone of a weight. Many might struggle with a 15 lb dumbbell. You're not going to show off when the guy next to you has been going to the gym for years and can easily curl 60lbs. Try 10lbs too light? Too heavy? Maybe you think 5 lbs is great to start off with and at 50 reps you can do 200 more. 
Here’s what you do to find a good starting dumbbell. Tone and bulk work outs will differ 
Bulk- start small maybe 10lbs do a couple of reps are you struggling to even do 1 or feel like you can do 200. The bulkers want a weight when the 15th curl was it. You can’t do any more. 
Tone the jiggle?
That’s right you want weight but not a bunch so you can get many more reps in. Feel the burn
Tone your muscles is best with a mediocre weight. Like the three bears you want not to heavy not too light.  you can do 200 then that’s too light. By 50 to 60 reps that 5, 10, 20 lbs weight that was so easy you thought you’d do 200 with out a problem
Tip
Increase and decrease your weights by 30 %
45 lbs your eyeballs about to pop out your head? Move to 30lbs still too heavy? Then go another 30% to 15lb s. 
Yes you might look dumb but so has everyone else, it really doesn’t matter because the hardest part is over. Getting to the gym. Soon you’ll find it hard to leave. Just don’t over do it. Muscles do need time to rest. 
Tip: the 100lb shirt. 
As you start out your muscles will hurt. Sure you were able to lift 20lbs 15 times an hour ago but now you’re so weak you can barely pick up your shirt. It’s time to find something to feed those tired noodles you still call arms. 
Tip: feed them muscles
You can ask others, Reddit you can even risk walking into vitamin world explain your new. Don’t let being new to everything be a chance for the sales rep have 1,000 dollars of junk herbs, shake mix and a plethora of stuff. And yes I think ashugonda does help but start off with a basic protine shake powder mix. Yes the huge Fortnite looking shield big ol Mack daddy drink. Hype or not there are several products out there that help aid muscle growth and more. 
Tips warnings and my thoughts 
Don’t bother someone during a work out. 
Don’t stare at the cute butts male/female. 
Do make friends, have work out partner almost like aa sponsor that get you in the gym when you just were not feeling it. I know that feeling. Half hung over dead tired, maybe the gym burnt down? Nope, start slow but just start something (olyptical treadmills) in just a few min you’ll be filled with energy. 
O yeah
Never
-Don’t judge anyone that walks through the doors of a gym (speaking as if someone is rather large) (personally I’ve never herd or saw, but friends of my past would be so scared. For multiple reasons and if you’re Santa clause body double or bigger don’t let the possibility of someone being mean stop you from going on a regular basis. Don’t think of yourself a fat. Years of investing in calorie build up so once you start seeing results you’re gonna be stronger than so many others. For kids reading and a heavy kid is at your pe class don’t be horrible and make fun of someone’s weight. they know it’s the reason they took the hardest step out of the way, which is just simply walking through the doors. 
-Ladies not every guy is trying to hit on you, we’re sorry but the yoga pants and your butt look marvelous and most guys are not trying to stare or look at you like a piece of meat. So don’t think every guy is hitting on you and no need to be a gigantic B I t wich if someone wants to chat with you. Be nice Besides my dog would look just as sexy wearing that. Or my 6foot2 400+ lb buddy Thomas. Yoga pants, what more is there to say. I’m glad your comfortable at the gym
-Men dudes boys but mainly the buff dude that keeps taking his shirt on and off. I get it you work out. Not sure how much because 30 min gone by and you lifted 1 thing. You were loud, obnoxiously loud. Like Chris hemsworth starting the dead star in avengers. It didn’t look that heavy but you sure sounded like it. Stop taking your shirt on and off we get it you work out, but you’re allowed to leave and come back another day. 
Final newbi gym tip. 
Bring a small towel and please use it immediately after you’re done with whatever machine you just unloaded sweat and grease over and 10 gals of perfume. Don’t have a towel? Don’t care you best ghetto it up by going into the showers and dispensing a few sheets of that brown paper for drying hands. There no excuse to leave anything from your body anywhere in the gym. I bet you have an extra one in your Nissan Z. O burn.  Jokes
The meat and potatoes 
Bulking up with free dumbbells 
Simple less reps more weight. Personally, I started with 15lb s and 1..2..3…15. After 15 if you can do 15 more?  And a third time?
Then maybe you should start off with 20 or even 25. You want to struggle getting that last 15th/20th (max 20 reps, but sticking to 15. You want it to be almost impossible to do 1 more. Arm tried?
Not done. Reduce to the next lowest weight.  (If I had 15, 10 is the next size down)
It that was too easy do the reps x2 with the 15. That 15 lb should feel like it weigh 300 lbs. 1 more set left maybe you’re at 5lbs. 15 to 20 reps and you’re done. 
Arm should be noodly but you should feel good just even after that short workout. 
3 sets on left total 45 reps
3 with other side total 45. 
90 reps later
The important part. 
Get your noodle arms grab towel or ghetto bathroom brown paper and you dry your face and anything you got body fluids on. 

Bye bye jiggle
Tone
How to tone your arms. 
Process stars with a low weight  5lbs might be the max try 10lbs. 
Stand against a wall back vertical so you’re only using your arm. 
Steady not too fast 1..2..3..44..50?
Depending on the weight you started with your arm should be pretty tired and 10 more reps would actually now be a challenge 
Repeat
You can try the next lower weight. Assume it 10lbs. 
10x50. Round 2 10x50 or 7.5x50. Last try as many as you can with 10lbs. If you can’t make it to 30 stop and lower weight. The next lowest should get you to 50 but dead tired. 
Focus on just using your arm. If your body sways this should be done against the wall. 
If you’re jerking your body even to get the last 1 or 2 stop or use your free hand to give just a little boost. 
1 week keep the same weight. 
Next week time to increase the weight to the next. If you stared with 15 you now start at 20. (Some weights can go to 17.5) if that’s possible do it. Same amount of reps for 1 week
3rd increase to next higher weight. But spend 2 weeks at this level if easy only spend 1. 
Keep increasing until you feel you’re at your max.  Maybe 50lbs
50x20rep. Keep weight same. 50x15rep.  50x10rep. 
If you’re able each week or 2. Increase the weight and rep20,15,10. 
60 might be your absolute max. 60x5rep. 60x3rep. 60x 1..2..3..4?
Remember don’t jerk your body
Quiet the mind that might tell you no with music. Get a gym playlist that gets ya moving.
