outgrown my DBs

princesslodgey Posts: 1,748 Joined: 2004/02/21	2004/08/17, 01:30 PM I've been waiting for weeks for new weights to increase my dumbells from 10kg each to 20kg, but they're still not in stock :( I'm struggling to get to failure on quite a few exercises doing my usual routine. My thoughts were either 1. higher reps ( which I don't want to do!) 2. Do my reps much more slowly 3. Try something like super sets or prefatiguing (sp?) What do people think? Any other suggestions? Cheers
