Mike ,

Just noticed this

I don't do legs

LOL

Leg day sucks doesn't it ? Sometimes anyway.

Keep up the good work, those of us not as young as the rest of the members have to show them young whips a thing or two.

Gary

 

[Mike51]

Thanks Gary

trust me the weight will never be high when I squat. ok it was under 100 but higher than 50

 

[gwcaton]

Mike ,

Do you work out at home or at a gym ?

Have you seen the squat weights in my journal? Odds are you're doing more than that.

 

[Mike51]

Gary I work out at home in the garage (no squat rack)

Monolith I checked your doing more than me

I just started doing squats a few weeks ago...so I know it will take some time to get into it and I'm just having fun right now.

Have you ever tried lunges ? They are brutual and don't require a lot of weight.

 

[Mike51]

did those way back when and didnt think of doing them now...thanks Gary I'll have to work them in

[atherjen]

great workouts Mike!!!

I count .5 reps too!

 

[gwcaton]

1/2 reps count 'cos you always round up to the next whole number for 1/2 or more. 1/4 reps don't count . Good looking workouts .
