finished a4 last night. i am getting stronger all around as the weights on the bar are moving up and with each addition of weights, the last reps on the last set are tough...like i have to really concentrate on form with the last ones to do them correctly. have lost weight in the last month but not really inches to speak of, i thought it might kind of be the opposite. no big deal, it will happen.
my ??? is about quad dominance & how it is referenced in the book. yesterday i squatted 70# in both sets, did 2 sets of 15 at 70# for each leg on the step ups. i don't have dumbbells so i use the bar with weights as a modification. my husband said my form is good but did have me move my hands wider on the push ups (which really sucked). he has been coaching for 17+ years & has degrees in kinesiology & sports something-or-another. while he may not be a weight lifting expert, i feel rather confident that i'm getting decent advice on form.
i feel like my quads are getting stronger than my hamstrings though & from what i read in the book, thought i was supposed to be doing the opposite? anyone else have this issue or have a suggestion/solution?
