I am just starting week 2 of Burn but can already tell I need heavier weights for my lower body. I am currently using a pair of 10's.

Should I...

a) purchase 12 lb free weights - $30.00

b) purchase 15 lb free weights - $40.00

c) both - $70.00

d) neither as I will only want even more heavier weights soon

e) bite the bullet and get me a pair of Powerblock 2.4 (can't really afford them but more manageable than selecttechs)

Your thoughts are appreciated.

    if you can afford the powerblocks, I'd get those. You could also try looking on Craigs List for the weights you now....

    I have up to 15 lbs and wished I had 20's during the Push month. I needed them for the squats, especially Push 3. It is full of lower body and I could have used the larger weights.

    I bought a pair of adjustable weights (up to 25 pounds each) from Wal-Mart for $70, I believe.

    Try the Walmart ones, take them back if they don't feel right to you. :)
