Hey cool!!!!!
I just switched from front squats and back squats to bulgarian split squats.
Have you tried them? They're my new love affair.......
I must say, that I DO have to cheat and use the stupid smith machine because there is NO WAY IN HELL that I can balance a barbell on my traps and then do a split squat. But, on the upside, I can do 85 pounds and I can barely walk today. Yeah!!!
Yes, yes, I'm a sicko.
I haven't been able to progress from my 25lb dumbbells for my arnold presses, so I started doing push presses instead. Same muscle group, but I can push press 70lbs instead of just a measly 50. Booyah!
I'm still stuck on 30lbs for my low incline dumbbell presses but that's only cuz I can't get the stupid %(*^&!~ 35's UP yet by myself. Grrrrr. But I can press them if someone helps me with the first one. Though I rarely ask because even though you'd THINK all the "dudes" in the gym would know how, they do NOT and I almost dropped the weight on my face! Fools!
Anyway Leaddog, glad to hear you've increased your weights.
I've actually started training every THIRD day for the past three weeks because my lifting has gotten so heavy. When I was doing it every other day, I too was a bit skurrrred to go up in weight because then I may be sore the next day and just ONE day inbetween workouts may not be enough recovery time.
Now I can fully go balls out if I want, hurt for a day and a half and then be RARIN' to go by my training day.
RARRRRRR!
Carry on!
Julia
