Slow & Heavy Series

I'm going to buy the Slow and Heavy Series and I want to buy heavier dumbbells at the same time. What pound dumbbells does Cathe use those videos?
 
Hi Anna,
I think the heaviest dumbbell she uses is in the legs section, 1 40lb. dumbbell to do the plie squats. Then she uses 5lbs. all the way to 20s if I'm not mistaken. It's been a while since I've done my S/H. I've got 5s, 10s, 15s and 20s. I use my 20s for those plies because I couldn't see buying 1 40lb. for one move.

In addition to those that Sharon mentioned, you might want some 8 lb weights (for tricep work) and some 12 lb weights. I especially find that by the 3rd set for the chest flys, I am dropping to 12's. I don't know how heavy you typically lift, but Cathe uses some 25's in the chest (bench press) and back (deadlifts) work. You might want to consider getting 25's to challenge you for one or two sets on these exercises, dependent upon your lifting level, of course. I have done without the 40 lb barbell for the plie squats and modified using a barbell. Good luck. It's a great series, and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it before.

Whoops, I meant to say 40 lb dumbell!
