[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those women who lift at home, what amount of weight is considered heavy enough to give the health and strength benefits? I only have dumbbells (heaviest is 12 lb set) and kettlebells (heaviest is 35 lb). My heaviest weights are very challenging for me and I follow a YouTube trainer, no interest in returning to a gym, and i don’t have the space for bigger pieces of equipment or a real weight room setup. Thanks![/quote] What you have is good enough for building strength up to a certain point. Because eventually, if you keep with it, the amount of weight you're using will no longer be a challenge. To see real gains, you need to be able to lift to failure through progressive overload. Thats what causes muscles to grow. Can you lift to failure with lighter weights - sure, but its takes a lot longer to get there and hence not as effective/efficient as lifting heavy.[/quote]
