How much weight

boo8 Posts: 3 Joined: 2003/04/02	2003/04/10, 03:22 AM I'm currently doing my lunges and squats using the Smith machine. For squats I'm using 25kg and lunges 15kg with 3 x 8 supersets. I've been using these weights for 6 weeks now and was wondering where I should be heading?? Many thanks Lisa

If so, by all means, give yourself something to work towards - increase the weights if you need to. Make yourself work hard! It feels great when you challenge yourself and succeed! Best of luck

I'm 135lbs, and squat 100kgs for a couple reps! But mostly I stick to up to 60kgs for about 8 reps. I like to really tire my legs. After doing this for the past 9 months, my legs look leaner, and stronger and my hamstrings have really come out. -------------- For tasty nutritious bodybuilding recipes check out Muscle Menus CLICK HERE http://www.muscletalk.co.uk/ebook.asp
