If i i have only low weight dumbbells around me for some time will adding reps make it the same as using higher weight dumbbells or nah?
I feel the ones i have are a bit too light for my taste but i cant go and get new ones for now
> get a fucking job
> buy them
Or you could an hero
It will tone your muscles but won't add as much bulk

Depending on their weight more reps could be done to volume for some mild hypertophic gains and jack all strength gains - and in theory it may even mess up your future strength gains by building up muscle that's good for endurance and lousy for strength.
Then again once you get used to the weight they'll be useless for everything.

Great, I was looking to get toned anyway for when school starts this september. You think I can tone up 40ish lbs by thwn? I'm 250lbs right now and my goal weight is 210, chubby yet toned.

increasing reps will increase the "volume"
increasing weight will also increase volume
In general, increasing volume will net you gains, but often that is only the case if you increase BOTH weight and reps, in an approriate ratio.

It's a troll. These won't do anything

Make sure you do cardio as well. Cardio will make your body shed masses of weight, especially if you're already a heavyset person.

Is this a troll or are there seriously 2 types of muscle

Not trolling at all. Look up "fast twitch slow twich" and read how each are developed by different exercises with different amounts of resistance.

Ditch those garbage soccer mom dumbbells and just go to your local park and work around doing dips, pull ups and such.
Also change your diet. You won't get rid of any excess fat just by doing garbage at home exercise routines. The most important aspect to you losing fat is proper nutrition.

Don't listen to this retard. Your dumbbells won't do jackshit at 5lbs each
Anything more than 15 reps is just cardio.

Practice squatting on them . You will need to be naked and will learn the term ass to grass. The burn will be great at first but just wait till you can put a 20kg kettlebell up your sphincter . Its glorious anon glorious
