It’s amazing what a difference just 2 lbs makes. For the last 5 years I’d been using adjustable dumbbells that were in 5 lb increments. But there were some exercises where 10 lbs felt easy but 15 was too hard: chest flies, bicep/hammer curls and overhead presses for example.
I recently bought Powerblocks but the set I got didn’t do 12 lbs either, so I finally realized I need separate 12 lb dumbbells or I’d never be able to progress. I found some on Amazon for Black Friday and oh my gosh I’m in love! That 2 lbs makes a huge difference: those exercises actually feel hard again but not impossible.
Can really see myself being able to progress in weights and that is such a rewarding feeling. 😎
