I have alot of guys that do that and i like the tone look but not huge arms so i think im doing right by staying at a challenging but comfortable weight and of coarse over a few weeks i can lift more as im gaining strength! This is why i go to a class though bescause i get all i need and some

We're not saying that either
But no worries, if you're truly on calorie deficit, I GUARANTEE your arms won't get any bigger. In my experience, the 10-15 rep sets work the best for toning up. 6-12 work the best for growing. And anything 5 and under is really just about how MUCH you can lift. But The wrong way to do it is to not lift enough, and overdo the cardio. Some people really like the 15-20 rep range, but reality is that you won't lift heavy enough of a weight if you do that the whole time, which results in your body not really seeing a need to keep the muscles you have. So over the course of losing 10 pounds, you might lose 4 pounds of muscle and 6 pounds of fat, instead of 2 pounds of muscle and 8 pounds of fat (just as an example)
