[quote=Anonymous]I'm a 45 yo woman and plan to start lifting heavier weights after reading about the benefits of doing that.  I have Lou Schuler's book "Strong", which has a detailed weight lifting routine to follow.  I don't have much equipment yet - my heaviest dumbbells go up to 15 lbs, and I borrowed some 20 lb dumbbells from a friend.  I'm planning to buy a set of adjustable dumbbells once Black Friday sales start so I'll have more weight options, and will be buying a bench.  I think that will be enough to start, but I'll eventually need some sort of barbell for squats and deadlifts.

Not having lifted heavy weights before, would something like the Bowflex adjustable barbell, which can have up to 120 lbs of weight, be enough weight?  I'd rather not do a traditional barbell and weight plates because of how much room it would take to store.

Also, are there any good streaming options for lifting heavier weights?  The programs that I've done in the past do more moderate weights and high reps, so they don't work for this.[/quote]
