SAHM/HSM/muscles quivering question

March 15, 2001

Hello all,

I am new to BFL-C1W2D4-so far so good. I am also a SAHM that

homeschools 4 daughters. Didn't think I'd find any HSM's here!

I have a question-on my UBW yesterday, my arm muscles were quivering

really bad. They didn't hurt, (except for the burn they are supposed

to have) it was just annoying! I heard that when you work your

muscles, you should go for the burn but the quivering is not good.

Can anyone explain why this was happening? Should I just keep going

or am I damaging my muscles? (Please don't tell me the weight was to

heavy because I'm sure it wasn't. I'm too embarrased to state the

weight I was using but it was definately not too heavy.)

Thanks in advance for any replys.

Dumbbells or a machine? As long as you maintain form stay with it as you

won't injure yourself. Slow the lift and lowering a bit and concentrate on

staying in control and feeling the muscle work. As you get stronger the

stabilizing should improve. Your muscles are learning that they can lift

weight. Be sure to practice excellent form at all times. Stay strong.

You'll experience the greatest gains at this time in strength. Focus as

well on keeping your arms stable as you lift and lower. :=) Kit
