That's an awesome website - thanks for the link! I was looking for a good site for women and weightlifting and all I could find were the body building sites which just weren't what I wanted.

I only have hand weights 2, 3, 5, 8 lbs. Are they heavy enough? Right now, in my current "weak" state, I mostly use the 5 and 8 lbs ones. Should I get a bar and weights?
