KiwiChick Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yeah Happy little Kiwi Girl After being back at the gym for the past 6 weeks I have been going to pump classes (the group fitness weights class to music), when I started I could do my squat track with 10kg on shoulders, and have been using 10kg for about 5 years as I thought that was all I was able to manage, but since joining NF last year I decided to push myself with harder weights and today I managed 30kg (I would just add more each class). Today it was too heavy to get up onto my shoulders by myself but I got a stranger to give me a lift and it was fine once in position. I think I will stick with this for a few weeks then get cranking it up again! Now I have the bug I want to get into the 'mans gym' and see how much I might be able to squat max (not to music for 4-5mins). Exciting squat times ahead!
