You want to be able to do 6-8 reps every set, so if you can't do that much with the 35's then yes, you should lower the weight. Doing 2 reps isn't going to get you very far. If you can do the 35's, you can probably do 8 reps with the 25's, so I would start off with those and move up if it's too easy.

As a general guideline:Originally Posted by 7ywan
14-20 reps - muscular endurance
8-12 reps - muscular hypertrophy
Pick the rep range that fits your goal.
