New to weights. What size?

I am starting doing some you tube weight programmes at home. I have 3kg but find myself getting bored. I’ve seen some for sale at 6kg, 8kg and 10kg. I can only afford one more pair really. Which would you suggest? Will I be better off with 8kg as it’s just over double 3kg?

4, 6, 8 has worked for me too.

You can add over time, but it's better to not have a huge jump in the early stages of building up.

Prices tend to go up along with the weight.

My 4s were from Argos. Cheap and cheerful

I started with 4 then bought 6 then 8.

I’d get 5kg and then save up for 7.5kg. It’s a huge jump to go from 3 to 8.
