Hi! I'm new to the comm (was directed this way by zulu), but I have been lifting heavy things for a little while now. I did a round-and-two-thirds of ChaLEAN Extreme, and now I'm halfway through the first stage of New Rules of Lifting for Women.
This week I did three workouts from NRoL4W--this morning was the first day I stepped up from 2 sets of 12 (for most exercises) to 3 sets of 10, and I was wiped! 50 lbs for squats, 30 and 25-lb dumbbells for bent-over rows, 25-lb dumbbells for step-ups. 30-degree pushups--I'm getting closer and closer to the floor. :)
Next week I'm hoping to add in at least two cardio workouts--possibly swimming. But I like the big weights! *g*
