I'm debating on whether I should switch to trying pull-ups/chin-ups with the Iron Woody Assisted Pull-up Bands or just do what the program calls for. I love those things! I can crank out sets of 6-10 with the medium width band. All of the weights listed are combined total of two dumbbells.
I am waiting for my weighted vest to arrive and planning on getting more plates for my heavier adjustable dumbbells so I can increase by 2.5# when I need to rather than 5#. I know that it would be better to use a barbell, but I don't like how they feel on my shoulders and neck, so I'll just do what I can.

I'd stay with the program as written, and stick to using the dumbbells, upping weights as necessary, but that's me.
