upping weights

gigi4444 Posts: 8 Joined: 2007/03/26	2007/03/29, 04:17 AM i just started this week but i read that we should up our weights each week by a couple of pounds, yes? i work out with dumbells (4 pounds each...yea yea, im the hulk) and dont want to buy increments of 2 pound weights every week. Id go broke! Advice on what to do? Would it be ok to just buy a new pair every, say, 2 months or so? What do you recommend? It seems cheaper to just go ahead and join a darn gym if I'm going to go ahead with this fitness thing....
