Beta weights...what are you all using/planning to use?

So I am on week 5 of Alpha this week and I am looking ahead at Beta. Right now I only own 2 and 3 lb hand weights and I know they are going to be too light. I am thinking about getting a resistance band set and using that instead of dumbells as I can keep increasing the resistance as I need it without buying new weights. What are people's thoughts? What has worked for you? what are you thinking will work best?

    Tomorrow, I'll start week 5 of Beta. I use 5lb weights, which are too light now. Since my arms grew 1/2 inch already, I'm not going to increase the weights. I don't like to use the bands.

    I haven't started Beta yet but I usually use 8lbs for other similar work outs so I figured I would start there.
