Just did the week 5 leg day with my heavier weights and loved it! I really like my new set that I got. Only downside is that the plates are all smaller so there isn't the clearance under them when doing hip thrusts or starting deadlifts. I think I can maneuver using my aerobic steps to rest it on but I'm still working on it. No matter what I can go much heavier now with the barbell or the dumbbells. And it doesn't take up much space. Happy to share the info with anyone interested.

Christine Bush Roman Here's the link to the dumbbell set and the rack I bought on Amazon. I only got the rack because I bought both a barbell (below) and dumbbell set and didn't want to just have piles of plates on the floor. Also I only paid $28 for the rack 2 weeks ago, so the price has jumped. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/988T3FVW57UJ?ref_=wl_share
Here's the link to the barbell/dumbbell set I bought at Academy Sports. Quick note--it says 110 lbs, but it's really only 92 lbs total. The plates total 80 lbs and I weighed the bar and it was 12 lbs. $150 for this set and it comes with both a 5 ft barbell and 2 dumbbell handles. It is 1 inch in diameter so definitely smaller and lighter than your traditional Olympic style bar, but this makes it easier to maneuver and store in a smaller space as I've stated. Also the bar can hold up to 150 lbs so I can load up with plates from my other set. https://www.academy.com/p/cap-barbell-110-lb-regular-grip-barbell-weight-set
