What I meant to do is start this guide with a really cheesy by-line; something to the effect of "we're going to pump ''you'' up." Good thing I reconsidered...
There are two important things to consider when shopping for a new aerobic machine to complement your weight set. We'll talk about some other equipment a little later.
Individual Weights and Sets
If you're just looking to replace particular plates in your prelifter category.
* 5 Pound Plates
* 10 Pound Plates
** These lighter weights are essential to a good, incremental regiment. They'll allow you to step up in a slow, safe manner that will also maximize your gains.
* 15 Pound Plates
* 25 Pound Plates
* 35 Pound Plates
** These mid-range weights will probably be used every time you lift as modifiers to the heaviest plates.
* 45 Pound Plates
** These heavy weights are the work horse of your set, but, since you'll be adding two plates (90 pounds) at a time, they do not provide a slow enough step-up.
Alternatively, if you don't have very many plates at home you might shop for plates in a set. Sets are usually sold according to the added weight of all their plates: so, a 300 pound set will have a number of plates which, combined, add up to 300 pounds.
