    Feeling a bit dumb... But oh well...

    If I'm doing AllPro with dumbbells, would I be better switching to Bulgarian split squats when I can no longer cope with the arm strain of the heavy dumbbells, or switch at the start to get used to the movement?

    Also, with the split squats do I rest after each leg, or rest after doing the reps with both legs?

    (I'm assuming here I'm doing all 8 reps on one leg and then switching?!)

    Trying to get it straight in my head for when I switch programs! Thanks :)

    Bulgarian Split Squats are an excellent swap out. On the rare occasion I do them (they are hard and I am a wimp) then I do one leg after the other with only say 10 secs in between). The 'proper' rest will be after doing both legs.

    Do all the reps on one, then do them on the other.

    Great, thanks Sara.

    Split squats it is! Anything that means I can work more efficiently without pulling my shoulders out of their socket is OK by me!
