I am so glad I did not stress out about last weeks weigh in, it obviously was retained water because I am were I should be!!!! Thank goodness.
I've really been testing my strength, it is hard to do when you don't have a spotter for free weights, but I make sure the last two reps of my set are very difficult, almost impossible for me to complete but doable. If they are too easy then I bump up the weight so my muscles know that they need to get stronger to lift the amount.
There are few things I need to tweak such as my squats, I need to go up in weight but my highest weight in dumbbells are 2x45, which I can use but my wrist and hands are not used to so much weight. I use the gloves to help but it still is a strain. So I want to move up to using the bar bell but even when I pad the bar it really hurts my shoulders to hold the weight, my husband said he'd help me figure something out so I can keep progressing.
