Hi, everyone

I just bought dummbells with 40 kg this days and i was asking can i do hst with them.I think that 15% increase of strenght with dumbells is too much.I have 4 weights of 5 kg,4x2.5 kg,10x1.25kg.I want your opinion how big increase should i do?
 
Get some .5kg plates, I have 8 of them instead I need to inc by 1kg or 2kg instead of 2.5 or 1.25.
I use 5% incs on every lift except lats which I use 10%.
 
It is better to use the smallest increment than too big. If you find yourself unable to use smaller increments you can also progress your training in terms of volume instead of load.
 
If you are able to apply the stress necessary to your muscle fibers with the smaller increments, absolutely. Volume training is a very effective means of stimulating hypertrophy.
 
So if for example i am at the 4 week and i can not do a load with bigger weight then i should get back to the previous weight and do more 2 more sets with it.
Thanks
