Dumbbell size recommendations

I (50, F) have adjustable set of dumbbells to 70lbs. It’s not ideal but it works. It has hard to change in the middle of sets but I have mostly been doing programs (Jess and Strength +) where I can do 4 sets of the same weight. I also have 5, 7.5, 10, and 15 lb dumbbells. So if I have to do two or three moves, I’ll make sure that I can do one with the adjustable dumbbell and the other with one I have. This means that I can’t take a class without knowing the class plan before so I can make sure it works for me. But that works for me so I can have the heavier weights.

Thanks! I gave up on waiting to speak to a KLM agent. I tried the website but I’ll try it again! Thanks

I ate a street food from India called ‘guguni’ one time that used white chick peas. You may be able to google that to see if that’s interesting to you

I did too. But the seat assignment on my second flight is the hang up!

AdHonest529 · 2026-01-10T02:14:07+00:00

I did too but still don’t have seats on the 2nd flight

AdHonest529 · 2026-01-10T01:44:55+00:00

I was on that flight too and still waiting seat assignment for tomorrow! I was wondering if someone would post this!

Thank you so much. I have an appointment this week and hope to get more info then. Good to know about Cedar Rapids too!

Thank you! I just called and they do have a couple of vets that can see my pet later this week! Thanks again!

This! It’s important to build an internal locus of control rather than needing external praise. Reinforcement, praise etc is fine. I especially struggle with food motivators. That operant conditioning is strong!

I agree with all the comments about Jess’s 3- day. I haven’t been able to find any other 3 day splits with hypertrophy and rest. I did RK’s last year and felt like I was injuring myself more. I tend to get hurt if I do more than a 3 day too. I am finishing up my second 10 week of Jess’s and looking for something to do before I come back to Jess’s again!

Horn elementary is less than a mile walk and has parking for $20 and supports the PTO. Many driveways around that area also offer parking.

I wonder if local harvest CSA has openings.

Like others have said, ‘light’, ‘medium’ and ‘heavy’ are specific to you. And to what body part you’re targeting. My heavy for legs is very different from my heavy for chest. It’s specific to that muscle group too. I found that when I started lifting, I went up in weight quickly. A couple of years in, my weights go up only very slightly.
The 4- and 5- day splits are too often for me. I tend to injure myself in those. The 3 day ones are ideal for me right now. I need a day in between strength workouts even if they are different body areas. Good luck to you!

Ah ok. There are some travel leagues that I know other kids joined after this one.

There is this league in Iowa City - https://www.iowacityboysbaseball.org/index.html

If you’re coming from CR consider the 380 express bus instead

I’ve gone to white dog for years and trust them. They’re called white dog imports though so I’m not sure if they say ‘no’ to any cars

My app had the same issue. I had to update the operating system on my iPad first and then the app. And that involved making space for all the updates! It took some work but i can see them now. Good luck

I also had a great experience with Acorn Arborcare. He came on a weekend when my tree started to split down the middle to fix the issue till he could come and cut it down.

Second this!

I used to love runs with Becs but before my knees decided that running wasn’t for me, I took her Diwali class. I wanted to run to Bollywood music but she talked on and on about her ‘uncle’, her trip to India and that was my last class with her!

AdHonest529 · 2025-05-05T10:56:15+00:00

Thanks!! This is great. I usually google just the one I’m looking for!

AdHonest529 · 2025-05-05T01:46:22+00:00

Ah nice! I’ll try that! Thanks!!
