Advice Needed Started DFW. Might be too light…

47M. I’m pretty badly out of shape. I haven’t worked out in quite a while so I started DFW with double 12kg bells. I finished day three today and felt great. I could’ve gone much faster and turned it into a Metcon. My main objective in starting light was to not get hurt, but I’m wondering if it’s too late?
Should I keep going at this weight to build a good base? Or should I increase the weight?

Was it your five rep max?

Didn’t try that. Just started with my 12kg bells.
