I have been using 1kg weights (conversion is 1kg = 2lbs ish) For some reason I cant buy any weights in lbs only kg's. I am going to buy some heavier ones today as I think you are all using about 4-5lb weights. Is that correct? 2kg would = 4.6kg. what do you all think? If I order them and find it too difficult I can go back to the 1kg right?

    I have also been using only 0.5l water bottles, so that's not even 1kg! :D I am looking to by at least 1.5kg - which is 3lbs I guess.

    Thank you, have ordered some 2kg weights so i can use either, depending on how my poor arms are feeling!!
  • I have 2 lb and 5 lb, and I switch depending on which move I'm doing. Some of those I can barely do one rep with a 5 lb, and others it's almost easy.
