possibly its not too much i dont go above 3 pounds dont do it too often or too hard or yeah then youll mess up your back and shoulders

Well if u dont feel any pain or heavy pressure on ur shoulders while shadowboxing with that wieght then i think ur safe. Its better to start of a lighter weight and work ur way up..

seems like a ******y way of u hopin that people tell u to use less weight
if anything
i think ya need to use more wieght
grab some 20lb weights and get some serious training done

it's okay to use 2.5 weights.
I use 3 pound weights and it dosen't affect me.

I started with 2 lb weights in my hands when shadowboxing. Use that weight for a while and then I'd go up to 2 1/2 lbs. I use 3 lb weights now. No need in straining the young and still growing ligaments in your elbows. Gradually increase the weight after time, youd be better off in the long run.....Rockin'

for a young person 1-2 is good

when u get older no more than 3

I'm 13 and I use 1 pound, it doesn't hurt my shoulders the next day, and I can continue my other excercises pretty normally without trouble.

No more than 3 pounds ever. Abdiel is just pulling your chain; you can injure yourself using even just five pounds.
