Labnick, I got Seletech Dumb Bells from Bowflex, also available at Amazon. The heaviest single dumb bell is 52 lbs. They are adjustable, from as low as 5 lbs.
I am about to begin Meso 2 on Sunday. So I invested today in doing the 1RM's for the next 2-3 weeks, and I feel confident that I'll now be lifting the proper weights.
For Meso 1, I made the mistake OF NOT doing my 1rm's ahead of time, and I had to constantly pause the video to get the right weight.
Needless to say, I am STRONGER after 1 month of Meso 1. This program is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME and you guys are very inspiring.
For cardio, I am doing 2 days of Insanity, 1 day free choice. On weight training days I have been doing "From Couch to 5K" on the treadmill. I should take pictures, to see progress. Wonderful Program!
Jengollf...you inspire me! Going to buy heavier weights this weekend. The heaviest dumbbell I have is 30lbs. going to get 35 and 40's.
I am on week 3 of meso 1. This is my first time doing STS and I am loving it. Love reading the posts in this thread and checking in to see how you all are doing. Did legs tonight and I always do the bonus sections afterwards. When I finished my legs felt like Jello.
Jengollf I meant to get back to you about using the rack from my sons weight bench. Wow what a difference using this instead of the bands. Making a huge difference for me.
