I waited until today because I wanted to see how sore I'd be after Friday's workout. Surprising well so far. But I think I'll REALLY feel it tomorrow.
A little background. I started weightlifting in April of 07'. At first I would just use the machines, but the more I read the more I learned that free weights were the way to go. So I moved on to dumbbells. I've kinda been stuck there since. Partly because I didn't have a good routine of my own but mainly because I was intimidated by the weight area. Too chicken to move on to barbells. So I limited myself. And because of that I've not progressed much in strength. But that is all about too change.
I decided to up my weights on Friday so that I can start moving my routine to barbells when called for in the routine. Oh boy could I tell the difference. My glutes were screaming at me during those lunges!
But I just keep my goal in mind "tight butt, tight butt!". Yeah, that was some motivation that worked!
I've been very good on my calorie intake for the last couple days. I was struggling the first couple days but think I've settled in too maintenance now.
Here's my 3rd routine from yesterday:
