This home strength training advice aligns perfectly with modern sports science. Regarding volume, a meta-analysis by James Krieger (2010) demonstrates that performing multiple sets (such as this 3-set format) is significantly more effective for stimulating muscle growth than a single set. As for the choice of 15 repetitions, a benchmark meta-analysis by Brad Schoenfeld and colleagues (2017) confirms that muscle development occurs very similarly across a wide repetition range (from 5 to 30), provided that the effort is sufficiently sustained. Training at home with dumbbells is therefore an excellent strategy, although it will be necessary to ensure progressive overload is applied over time to continue progressing. It is worth noting that the biceps curl is an isolation movement and should be integrated with other compound exercises to constitute a truly complete (full body) routine.

What the graded evidence says

Evidence: B+

Effect: muscle hypertrophy and 1RM strength, low-load vs high-load resistance training — hypertrophy similar between low and high loads when sets taken to/near failure; 1RM strength significantly favors heavier loads
Measured on: healthy adults, trained and untrained

Light loads match heavy loads for size only when sets are taken close to failure; for pure maximal strength, heavier loads have the edge, and body-weight training eventually needs harder variations to keep progressing.
