 front squats |

In my situation, I'm 51 year old female whose goal is ...read more |

| Resting during lifting |
| Posted by Jenny - 07-28-06 18:37 - 4 comments |

Is it okay to pause/rest during a set? For instance, on a 12 rep set, is it okay to do 8 reps, rest for maybe 5-10 seconds, then finish the set?

So I've been doing a little more running this summer but lately I've found my legs looks kind of 'flat', like not much muscle tone and I'm wondering if maybe it is due to the running. I'm fairly lean but there really isn' ...read more |

What is that springy clip thing called that goes on the outside of the plates? I know many people don't use them, but I find them helpful when my lift fails and I drop the whole thing on the ground.
