Workout Notes
Got dizzy on squats. Probably didn’t breathe properly. I tried not to hold my breath but the weight seemed so heavy it was hard not to (even though it’s the same weight I had been using). Went deeper than previous leg workout. Squats were considerably difficult this time…had to pause after two to four reps at a time. Added 10 lbs to deadlift. Leg curls were hard but not as hard as the last time. Calves burned on standing calf raises more than ever before.

Did you have a good meal about an hour before your work out? Sometimes when I don’t eat well before a work out and give it enough time to digest a bit for fuel I get that way too.

Best advise on squats is to exhale on the way up, rather than trying to hold your breath. The deeper you go on squats the harder they get…the reason why some people shy away from them

Kymn, II don’t recall whether I ate prior to that work out. I try to eat about an hour before I head to the gym, but that isn’t always the case.
Thanks for the advice, auzb. I’ll keep that in mind!
