's Monday workout

[Guest guest]

Today I decided to finally use my new barbell that I bought. I did Cathe slow & heavy legs & shoulders. I had a few problems with it. I definitely need to get me a barbell pad, not sure where to look but I will find one somewhere, it really hurt my neck and shoulders. The second problem that I had is that my legs are much stronger than my arms. I wanted to use 30 pounds for the squat portions, but I was not able to lift the barbell over my head with that much weight so I had to drop down to 20 pounds, which was okay, but I probably could have used a little more, but that will have to do for now. Also, there were some plie (sp) squats in there where Cathe was using a 40 pound dumbell, I don't have anything near that heavy, plus I think that would be way too heavy for me anyways, I just used a 15 pound weight plate, which ended up being too light, but the 25 was too hard for me to get a good grip on, I do need to get some heavier dumbbells or maybe even a kettlebell for this type of things. All in all, I really did like this workout, I know I am going to feel this in my shoulders all day today. Have a great day everyone.
