@zeynep usually hotel gym weights R too light for me; didn't realise I was encountering a 'world designed for women' until now ;0)
Today's edition of a world designed for men. My hotel gym weights *start* at 20lbs per arm.pic.twitter.com/VlkoB1gDoG

@shackletonjones My experience is more variation in upper limit. Also you can increase reps! Nothing to do if you can't lift at all. :-) -
@zeynep & usually far more aerobic mach. than free weights: perhaps just health&safety? -
@shackletonjones I dunno; heavier weights seem to have a lot more potential for injury.

@zeynep Agreed, but Bev does 20lbs+ daily. Love to brag about my wife -
@barrywellman@zeynep I despise Barbie weights, but 20 lbs per arm not good for beginners. Add 0.5 lb per training day -

@barrywellman@zeynep was not implying that Barry ;-) I meant heavy weights are good for women! Just not when you're starting out. -
@mcscharf@barrywellman Agree! I barf at "tone not bulk" language. Still 20lbs not good as lower limit. And yeay to Bev.

@zeynep What about those smaller black dumbells to the left? Are they 20 pounds? They look too small to be 20s.
