One frustration i find with lifting is i want to lift really heavy but with my size, any dumbbells over about 35 lbs over power me... i just cant get em up. With squats and deads, i can go almost to my entire bodyweight... its just my upper body that i struggle with. Any ideas for my chest and military presses?Sent from my DROID Pro using Tapatalk 2
Switch to barbells for upper body lifts. OR try doing unilateral lifts instead. That way you can use both arms to get one dumbbell into position for bench/military press, then do your repetitions for one arm then the next. It'll be easier to get one dumbbell into position using two arms
Great ideas! The 4 main movements are the foundation of my program, but I will definitely utilize the barbell more! I guess in the end, slow and steady wins the lifting race. With more muscle that will help, I'm sure! Haha and as the day goes on I'm getting more and more excited about less cardio and more food. Having dessert tonight on my rest day to celebrate. 🙂
