Up until now, my weight training has been simply to stay svelte. And I think I was getting a little bored lately and slacking off, I've even let myself get a little <gasp> out of shape lately. I've never tried to see how heavy I could lift, never seriously done the power lifts that we are using for this challenge, and I am so excited about going there!! My enthusiasm for the gym has been reignited and I can't wait to see what I can do. Let the game begin! :cool: -------------- : ] ~Danielle Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. ~Benjamin Disraeli

They are relatively new to me, I usually do lunges with lower weight on the bar and higher reps, and then sumo squat things with a 60 lb dumbbell. I don't know if I am starting at average or above or below, but I was at least able to put weight on the bar so that's a good thing!:big_smile: -------------- : ] ~Danielle Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. ~Benjamin Disraeli
	2004/05/12, 10:27 AM Dani, you will have an advantage in the challange by virtue of not having done these lifts much. I made huge gains the first 6 months I did them. Let the trainer watch your form for a while so you don't develope bad habits. Being new to these lifts may let you skin a Kat or two. Sorry howdie, I couldn't resist. -------------- Foolish consistancies are the hobgoblins of small minds. Charlie

howdiekat Posts: 1,345 Joined: 2003/05/22	2004/05/12, 11:12 AM well well, what have i missed? looks like the garbage man came while i was away... i just got back into squats after taking 2 months for the knizzle to heal so hopefully i'll have the same luck with the gains - who knows. same thing with deadlifts pretty much, i'm up to 210 for 1 right now but i'm trying to get it up around 275 or so. what do we have, 2 months? no problem...the kat is on the prowl:cool: and tex i wouldn't worry about that pulled muscle - small tissue heals fast. -------------- success comes before work only in the dictionary. that's right.
