    I used 3-lb weights. After the 30 days, I started again using 5-lb weights. That's a killer!! x(

    I used 5 and didnt really feel anything with the bicep curls but nearly die with the anterior raises (shoulders kill). I think I may use 8 lbs for bi's and use 5 for the rest.

    I am using 3 lb weights and thinking about going to 5 lb weights on Level 3 [but not sure yet]. Trust me, you DEFINITELY feel the 3 lb weights lol.

    I use 6lbs. Its hard but I think its worth it. Its important to use weights that are not easy.

    I'm using 5lbs and reaching muscle failure with them. It kills but I dont have anything smaller.

    The first time I did the 30DS was when I was 280ish pounds. I used 2 pound weights. Now, I'm using 4 pound weights for half of it, 8 pound weights for the other half. (5 days of level 1 with 4's, next 5 days of level 1 with 8's, etc.)

    I think 6lbs are heavy! I use 3lbs too. How far are you into it?

    This is the first time I've done it. I'm almost done with L2, and have been using 5 lbs. My arms feel like they are going to fall off by the end lol, but I have noticed a huge difference in my upper body strength and arms since starting.
