Re: Everyone hanging tough?

March 22, 2006

I was going for shakey legs today and didn't get it. I'm kind of

sad. I felt it and definately hit failure on hams but nothing is

shaking (I couldn't finish my last set even with super pushing

myself and even trying to talk myself into it!)! I'm going to up

weights earlier in my reps and see if that helps. I wonder if I'm

doing my squats right. This is where a trainer could really help.

I think it's time to check that out.

I'm up to 70 lbs on squats and deadlifts. 100 lbs? Can't imagine

but I suppose in a few weeks I'll be there too! Wait, do I have 50

lb dumbells? Guess I should put those on the old birthday wish list.

Have a great rest of your day! Hey Machelle, if you're wearing

weights you should consider one of those weight vests. Ankle

weights are very bad for walking form and your back. Weight vests

act like when you're overweight. Even a padded backpack with a

gallon of water in it would be better. I remember wearing that 50#

tank when I was training to be a firefighter. Now those were shakey

legs...
