You've certainly given me a lot to think/read about. The weights are 10kg, so that's about 22lb I think. Still, I will be buying more equipment when I can.

Where I am staying I don't have room for a bench, so I've been slightly limited in what I can do. Any suggestions for working around that?

I am also very interested in squats/building up my legs and have been trying them out and practicing the correct form the past few days.

Thank you for the links and advice.

i'm glad i misread that as 10 pounds, 10kg weights will be fine for now as you learn what to do with them (all barbell motions that i suggested you research can be practiced with dumbbells)

and honestly, all you really need a bench for is bench pressing. until you have access to a gym or just have more space, you can work on pushups and eventually weighted pushups.
