That really isn't that much weight- imagine bench pressing 60 kilos.
30 kilo dumbbell presses shouldn't all that strenuous for someone who works out regularly.
- Evgeny 14y agoThat really isn't that much weight- imagine bench pressing 60 kilos. A more general rule is Bench Press = 3 x 1 dumbbell weight. Pressing dumbbells is harder because it involves more balancing, so it is harder to press 30kg dumbbells than one 60 kg bar.
- gonzo 14y agomy bench is currently around 5x6-8 @ 85kg (5 sets, 6-8 reps, 185lb) That's a workout set So, I could probably handle 65lb dumbbells @ 12 reps, but I wouldn't start there for a warm-up. Which was my point.
