Fixed.

And nothing is set in stone with bodybuilding, except using proper form. Your body doesn't feel numbers, it feels intensity.

Agreed. And I think endurance is the wrong word here. Lifting weights for strength and muscle mass I understand, but endurance? If I wanted endurance I'll start running marathons.

trying to make do with the least amount of cash possible. my nex investment would be 4x 5kg plates

will the effects of doing the "big 3" be the same if i did it with dumbells instead of barbells?
*
the reason for barbells is because you will soon outgrow the db weights for squats and deadlifts. how often do you come across 50kg dbs?
im assuming you're not doing goblet squats, db squats dont give much ROM, and your grip -will- be an issue later on.
you can generally bench heavier with barbell compared to db's, because you dont have to stabilise the barbell so much. its just a matter of pushing it up hard enough.

Nah, endurance is the word. Muscle endurance. Running a marathon requires cardiovascular endurance. Your legs, are endurance muscle. It's about how many times you can do a motion repeatedly; endurance.

Try curling 50 times.

okay, muscle endurance then, but the thing is, im lifting weights to get bigger and stronger, lol. doesnt really matter if i can squat or curl 50 times, its not gonna show in the physique right?

my triceps hurt like hell and i guess its a good sign?

but i wasn't like super fatigue in terms of body funtions lol. my muscles feel worked , thats all

but its only 35 minutes?am i suppose to last only this long?

dude, no one can tell you if you're feeling tired or not. still felt you could go on? do more work then. why stop just because your planned routine ended? use more weights, do more sets, do more reps. do whatever.
