However I only have three different weights, one is too light to use at all know, and the other two are 2.3kg and 4.5kg. I am currently doing 2 sets of 12 reps with the 2.3kg, I was wondering if I would be better doing 2 sets (if I can manage it) of 6-8 reps with the 4.5kg. Could anyone advise please. Thanks Pol
