I know y'all will be excited with me...

I kept mine at 4 lbs and 7 lbs and still use them today with other workouts. I think you could also put them all together and make an 11 lb weight. Not sure if they're still around for purchase anywhere though.

I was looking at something similar to this on Amazon. The ends screwed off and there were weights that went inside. I passed on it because the reviews said they rattled, when not full.

Oh, interesting. If you stumble across those, let me know. I'm still hunting for 11s!

I did a search and found these. They're a bit steep in price, though. Neoprene Dumbbells 11lb (Set of 2)

I use my 4 pound dumbbells all the time and I'm glad I have them! I have a set of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 lb dumbbells.

Yeah, I found that set on Amazon for the same price. I think perhaps I'll have to wait until the pandemic is more behind us, because home fitness equipment prices have basically skyrocketed. I thought about using 1-lb. wrist weights while using my 10s until I can find 11s at a slightly better price.

I'm pretty sure 6 & 7 will be my next acquisition... 6.5 would be perfection.

I remember it being easier to use less weights (to make bigger weight jumps...without hurting myself) when I was younger, lol. Now I'm like 3 lbs is easy....I'm moving up to...4!

6.5 or 6.75 would indeed be perfection in my world.

I love my 4s!

I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 17.5 and 20. I'd love to have 11s.

I bought 4s at Dick’s awhile back and absolutely love them. I loved the color (teal) as well. I have to have multiple sizes

This is what I do when I need to add a small increment to my weights. I don't have much space to store my dumbbells, so I do this quite often by adding 1.5 pound wrist weights and/or 1 pound kickboxing gloves. If I had unlimited amounts of space I would probably have more increments of dumbbells. Currently I have 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 25 pound dumbbells.
