what is an appropriate weight here? Or, to put it differently; should it be light, heavy or something else?
Something else.
Jokes aside, the first page of the officially released program states that you should choose a weight you can do 12 bicep curls with. So, moderately heavy will do the trick.
(A little heads-up though: the very first day requires you to do 4 sets of 12 curls with 60 seconds between sets. So, you should actually have a few reps left in the tank when you reach 12, otherwise you won't be able to make it through the exercise.)
GiorgosD Back in the 1960's my first dumbbells where adjustable 15lb by Weider (wish I still had them) I think they're a good starting point. I did the curls with 15lb dumbbells and was good, I always focus on the muscle, tense the bicep on the up and triceps on the down.
In my apartment I only have two 5lb dumbbells, alternative is at my gym 3 days a week.
