Not Cathe here, but yes, you will lift 15. I think Cathe used weighted gloves so she could increase weights by 1, 2, 3 or 4 pounds, another option is to use plate mates (magnetic weights that stick to the end of dumbells to increase the weight by 1 or 2 pounds at a time)... I have plate mates and they work well, I've also rounded on some weights... but I don't know how good of an idea that will be later in the program... maybe someone who has viewed the DVD's can better answer.
