Buy some weights

Hi Everybody

I want to start building up may arms, maybe chest a bit (mainly arms). I've been looking at dumbells on the argos site and they have some reduced.

They have a 15kg dumbell set (£7.49) and a set at 26kg (£12.49) and 35kg(£14.99). The two heavier sets come with a barbell which I'm not sure I would need - I wouldn't really know what to do with it!

Does anybody have any suggestions? I guess the 15kg would be a good start and I shouldn't have too much trouble carrying them home!!

Personally out of the 15kg and 26kg sets I'd go for the 26kg set even if you don't need the bar. I think it depends on what your planning to use the weights for exactly. If you're going to use the two dumbells together, like for dumbell presses and flies, 7.5kg on each dumbell might not be enough and you might find yourself needing more weights very quickly.

With the 26kg set, as well as the extra weights you get, the dumbell bars are longer so you've got room to put the extra weight on them that you don't have on the 15kg set. Probably worth the extra fiver I'd say. If you are planning to use the barbell too, then spend the extra £2.50 to get the extra 2x4.5kg weights.
