While this is true, asking for input is NEVER "wasting time". There are a lot of people on this board with more experience, and not only that, but writing things out and having others look it over can help you see holes or places to tweak a routine or diet.

Nobody is perfect, nobody has ALL the answers. It is simply SMART to ask for input from people they respect and like. It is very close-minded and stupid to assume you know it all and nobody can help you improve.

I think Jen is VERY smart in asking for advice. It shows how much she wants to improve, learn and grow.

Well said Daisy. I have been around bb's and Gym's for 20 years and have never met anyone who knows everything. Including pro's. So anything that you can learn may get you one step further. I take everything I can and pick out what I want.

Miss24, I use 25's under my heels when doing atf's. I have poor hip and ankle flexibility so I have to. As far as knees handling it, atf is much easier on my knees than parallel squats. Here's a quote I love regarding atf's, "with parallel squats your knees act as brakes, brakes wear out", or "if it ain't deep, it aint squat!"

Thanks for the input Nsash! I assume tho with ATF squats, one would need to use MUCH lighter weight?

I like that quote Nsash I'm putting it in my sig, if you don't mind That's how I always squat.

Yes Jens you would probably need to use a lighter weight.

What about a rest day? Do you just do cardio on your rest day? Or do you give your self any complete rest?

Using the step-mill for cardio really works my legs. 30 minutes on a 9-10 level and your walking up 100-120 flights of stairs. It is like you are walking up an escalator to a never ending shopping mall. Your legs are like JELLO after and it`s worth it.

Congats on your placings at the show, you looked great!

At a little over 3 weeks to the next show - no complete rest days, but the weekends will prolly be lighter on the cardio side - like a walk 1st thing in the morning.

Thanks BB!!
