After all you are only doing 1 work set of squats. So if you workout 3 days per week then you are doing 3 work sets of squats per week. Even though it is frequent, the volume is still quite low.Lee Haywardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269665975778781446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190999310897017288.post-45140250522623442112009-05-14T00:02:00.000-02:302009-05-14T00:02:00.000-02:30You can do "breathing squats".

But with heavier weights you'll have to pace yourself more.Lee Haywardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269665975778781446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190999310897017288.post-50185410164885738182009-05-12T02:26:00.000-02:302009-05-12T02:26:00.000-02:30Great routine Lee.

Lee I just heard on the 11 PM NBC news health report that the latest research on white tea is that it prevents fat cells from forming, plus speeds up your metabolism. They also said its way better then green tea for losing weight. 4 cups a day is enough to lose 4 lbs a year. I can just imagine how much more fat you'll burn with weight training & cardio. They also found out some other stuff about the tea that has to do with cancer, but I didn't quite catch tthat part. I'll have to go to the web site and check it out. I take 1 green tea extract tab with 16 ounces of filtered water half Hour before my morning 45 minute cardio, Then another cup with breakfast & lunch. This is a sure fire way of keeping your metabolism super charge for 6 hours before you start wiending down. Looks like I'll be switching to white tea to speed up my fat burning. Thanks for that cool routine you posted.<br />Robert ValdesRobert Valdeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545779381325732502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190999310897017288.post-49663390756784917402009-05-10T14:17:00.000-02:302009-05-10T14:17:00.000-02:30Ray,

Squatting 3, 4, maybe even 5 days a week sounds like you be setting yourself up for an injury.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335766653570668753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190999310897017288.post-14822940122546938992009-05-09T22:45:00.000-02:302009-05-09T22:45:00.000-02:30Hey Lee.
