If you want to build muscle, concentrate on form and working the muscle. Weight is weight and you can only lift what you can, but strict form with full muscle range and contraction is critical.
For instance, most people have generally horrible form when curling because proper form knocks the total weight down a lot. Ever use the an Arm Blaster or curl with back against the wall?
