To the advocates of 28s, were these your next step up from 24s? Or did some of you get one or two despite already being proficient in single or doubles work with 32s? As a big fan of doubles I’m thinking two 28s could add lots of options.
I started with a 24, jumped to a 32 when it was time to progress on Simple and Sinister, then a 20 to start ROP (which I quickly outgrew) and then a 28 when I was ready to incorporate it into ROP. (I knew 24 to 32 on the press was too big of a jump.)
Then I paired the 20 to be able to do Kettlebell Muscle-type double KB complexes, and then paired the 24.
And then I bought a 40kg just because. (And I got a 16kg for the wife. I don’t think she’s touched it. I’ve used it for bottoms up pressing.)
My new gym at work has bells up to 44kg, including a 36 which I’m liking for push presses.
I won’t say money’s no object, because it is, and typically I’m pretty cheap, but buying the bells doesn’t bother me.
Having said that, if had to go back in time and not buy some bells, it would be the 20s. I could have used different programs with the 24s instead of dropping down to the 20s. But I really wanted to do the complexes.
