I posted on raynors thread, but I don't think he'll see it in time. Sorry for double posting or spamming my question in advance.

So I tried out a new gym and I love it, due to it being cheap and 24 hrs. The only problem is, their Dumbbells only go as heavy as 75 ibs. I'm worried concerning my chest workouts cause I mostly use higher weight, here's how it looks:
Warmup
50x10
After warmup
100x6
95x6
80x8
75x12

As you can see, aside from my warmup, I use 75s only for my lightest set

Can I use 75s repeatedly, for around 15-20 reps a piece? Or will I start to lose strength? Again , sorry for double post , just need some insight fast. My membership expires tomorrow at my current gym, so I have 16 hrs to decide which gym. Thanks in advance!

I usually do that Monday's and alternate to Dumbbells Thursday's, could I use barbell two days a week like that?
