@dawn16 I’m using a 30lb (13kg) now and ready to move up very soon. (I thought the 30 my friend lent me was 14kg equivalent in my OP. I did the math wrong) my presses will take a few more weeks to move up. Another user above recommended that book. I guess I need to read it!

@dawn16 Ummm…no where close to any one of those benchmarks. I have a ways to go. I dream of those numbers and the gains to look at in the mirror along with them.

@dawn16 No, not most of my life. Got relatively fit late in life in my late thirties. (Achieved a 70lb weight loss in my early 20’s when I started working in EMS as a Paramedic full time after college, but that other than mountain biking was my only form of training) I’ve never achieved the...

@panelasalex Appreciate that advice. Thank you.

@jimmy22x Thanks. That seems like sound advice. I was leaning this way. Since the cost isn’t much more to do the add on 13kgs I may start with the 12-20 set at $359 and if I push past 20.5 KG I’ll add the 13kgs sets later. I’ll still be curious what others’ input is before I plunk down the cash.

@pyrrhic Smart move!

@pyrrhic So you must have the 12-32 adjustable then?

@cozicup For double handed swings for sure! The 14’s are “just right m@ but I see myself pushing past that in the next week or so. For strict press and clean and press I’m not so sure, my shoulders have always been one of my sticking points.

@biboplex My BoS adjustable arrive next week!

@biboplex Thanks!

Mid 50’s guy here, decent shape but still trying to improve. Recently a friend recommended KB training and have to say it’s a fantastic change from what I have been doing. I feel energized and just overall better. I have a ways to go with my fitness goals. He lent me his 12kg and 14kg until I...
