I'd love to buy a set of adjustable dumbbells, but it's not really in the budget right now, but I've got my eye out on Craigslist for some bargains!

Thanks for all of your input!!!
If 20 lbs. is already too light, then I think 25 lb dumbbells and a barbell that goes up to 50 lbs is not going to be heavy enough for you, especially during the Push phase.

I think the reason why I love this series so much is because I'm lifting heavier than I have ever lifted at home, and I love lifting heavy. This last Push round, I used my 45 lb. dumbbells for chest presses for the 3rd and 4th week, and my 53 lb. kettlebells with my Platemates for the squats.
