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

I'd love to have a few in-between sizes. 4lbs. 8lbs. Maybe 12 and 17lbs.
Good for you!

Those are the 4s I bought and also use them all the time!

CONGRATS alisoncooks! You'll be glad you got them ☺️

11lb is 5.0kg, which is a very standard size (outside the US). Hope that helps. Realise you don't want them posted from somewhere overseas, but you may be able to find a supplier that deals with metric units.

I totally get it, too. You NEED those 4 pounders!

I have a set of 6.6 dumbbells (3 kilos). I bought them ages and ages ago, and I'm so glad I have them!

This! Because I've lived a very international life, I have a great range of dumbbells.

Mine are .5kg (1.1lbs), 1 kg (2.2 lbs), 3 lbs, 2 kg (4.4lbs), 5 lbs, 3 kg (6.6lbs), 8lbs, 10lbs, 12.5lbs, 15lbs, 20lbs.

Plus, my Kettlebells are 6kg (13.2lbs), 8 kg (17.6lbs), 10 kg (22lbs) and 12 kg (25.2 lbs).

Sometimes there is nothing more satisfying than having exactly the right weight.

I just looked, and Amazon has 3 kg dumbbells, but they are pricey. I'll just keep on the lookout, now that I know that's the perfect in-between size.

Oh, that's a great idea! Thanks!

Yep, when we were downsizing, I gave away my 4 lb ones on freecycle and sold my 10's.
Now all this stuff is FAR more costly. 4 lbs was so useful for rehab work, shoulders, rotator, to add with resistance tubing or when my wrists are just too fatigued for the 5's.
Love the 4's!!!!!

I bought 4’s from Dick’s last year. Now I’m debating if I should buy 6’s next or 7’s???? (Any suggestions from anyone)? Anyway, I agree, 6.5’s would be awesome!

I love getting new weights! That said, they are just too expensive right now.

I really do need 17.5 lbs and 22.5 lbs would be nice but not at current prices. I'm doing 80 Day Obsession right now and there have been several times when I wish I could use 17.5lb when Autumn does. Sometimes that jump from 15 to 20 is too much (just like going from 3 to 5 for certain moves). I'm also going to add to my wishlist 45 lbs.

Right now we have:
1,2,3,4,5,7,8,10,12,15,20,25,30,35,40
