So, I’m already on the move of changing my workout routines around some. Starting to get bored of using the same machines for the legs and studying some barbell stuff. This morning I studied “Dead Lift” and the “Hack Squat” both on barbells. Read about them online to study the position and the movements. Then I tried them at the gym using a barbell without weights at first, using a mirror to make sure I’m doing it right. Then once I get the hang of it, I lifted about 75 lbs for both workouts. Not too heavy, it was still pretty light for me anyways. The “Dead Lift” is for the hamstrings and other lower/upper bodyparts, the “Hack Squat” is for quads and other parts. Both workouts were pretty brutal. Doing barbell stuff is way better than the machines. You can feel the burn. I’ll lift light for now, I don’t want to rush into lifting too heavy yet. I didn’t need a spotter for these workouts, ’cause they were really simple to do.

I’m trying to vary my workouts. Doing different exercises is good for the body. You won’t get better results by doing the same exercises and lifting the same weights all the time.
