I guess you can write it in any way that is meaningful to you Ricky. What I do is I write 2 x 30 lbs. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I can bench and fly with 50 pound dumbbells, but I¹m the exception rather than the rule. If you have room for the weights, I¹d get the 15 and 20 and when I was ready get a 25 and a 30 =) On 1/4/06 7:15 PM, " perditagal " <bookmommy@...> wrote: > I already own 3, 5, 8, 10 lb. dumbbells plus 1 lb. wrist weights.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Krista has a suggestion here, on adjustable sizes: http://www.stumptuous.com/cms/displayarticle.php?aid=47 Do you have a local " play it again sports? " I got most of mine there. I personally do not like the adjustable one, too time consuming. I started out with 5's a long time ago, and kept moving up. We have everything from 5 to 50's now... and had to buy a snazzy dumbbell rack to put them on.... very convenient, and it looks cool next to the olympic plate tree and power rack. By the way, if you keep lifting consistently and progressively, you'll far surpass the 20's! I'm currently up to 40's. -- --- perditagal <bookmommy@...> wrote: --------------------------------- How much do you veterans lift? What weights do you suggest I buy?

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I bench 25 and 30 but for legs need to go up past 50. It's a worthwhile investment.
