Yeah, the standard 1" sets are not too badly priced (used to be a lot better priced though) I'd get those personally. I'd also get cast iron sets, not rubber - the plates are physically smaller and should be cheaper to buy matching extras later on. Avoid "vinyl" concrete dust filled once at all costs!
Also, kit weights are total - so a 40kg kit is 2x20kg DBs
Yukirin-
@Yukirin thank you

@Nef @Yukirin thanks for the replies. I've just acquired a bench and barbell and some Olympic tri plates.
Seemed to make sense to buy some Olympic dumbbells and a few more plates so I can swap everything around rather than buy a new set of standard sized stuff? Happy to be told that's wrong tho.
Edit: hadn't looked at the price of standard stuff it's a fair bit cheaper!
