I'm getting ready to buy some weights for my home gym and was wondering, if I want to build muscle mass should I buy lbs or kg?

kg are heavier. You should get those.0

a kg weighs more than a pound, so def kg.
if youre just toning, go with lbs.

I love this.
If you weigh your food in lbs, go with that or it could become confusing. :drinker:0 -
A pound of fat is the same as a kg of muscle0

Won't kg make me bulky? I thought lbs built lean mass and kg builty bulky mass? I just want bigger muscles, I don't want to be bulky.0 -
I think the biggest question to be asked is - are your weights pink?0

Depends on your goal
If you want to push bigger numbers per weight go for lbs
If you want to push bigger weight per number go for kg
I'm all about the number so I go for lbs0 -

No no no, you got it wrong. Lean muscle comes from lean proteins like turkey and fish. Bulky muscles are from thick proteins like protein shakes.

but NOT from abdominally focused proteins...those will actually help keep your bulk down to a feminine level but will increase definition only in your abs.0 -

Okay, that makes sense. I just bought protein shakes thinking they would help. I'm going to have to try to return them and just buy turkey.0 -

What types of proteins should I buy? I have huge thighs already and don't want to look like Branch Warren.
Will kg help me spot reduce my huge thighs?0 -
I would definitely go with Lebron over Kevin Garnett at this point.0

You need chicken for small thighs. Ever hear someone called chicken legs? Thats why0 -

it would help if you specified, bruh.
chicken legs will reduce bulk, as they are lean...but chicken thighs will add bulk, as they are fatty.
it is still undetermined what chicken breasts do, so i avoid those altogether.
i dont want bewbs, namean?0 -

I don't want big boobs or pecs, so I'll avoid the chicken breasts. Where can I buy chicken legs? I've only seen thighs in the stores.0 -

Everyone knows the most efficient weight is measured in stones(st).
They are not only great for building muscle but also burning fat more efficiently.0 -
