35 kg... so that's around 77 lbs. It depends on what exercise you're planning to use them for. I would think that if you're just starting out on lifting, you should go for lower weights and work on proper form and get the feel for the exercises you're doing first. 77 lbs, I dunno, but that seems to be ALOT to me if you're thinking about working the biceps.

yeah, if you curl 35kg.. your probobly throwing your back and all sorts of things.

ill be doing these kind of things

yer i think i will need lighter

only isolation work for the arms wont really get you far, sorry. You need to train your entire body to really see and feel results.

Thats good to start with since the dumbells are adjustable. However its only gonna be about 35lbs per bar. You can always eventually get more weight for them as you progress. You can do much more with dumbells than curls. You can pretty much do any bodypart with a set of dumbells, which is what you should be doing.
