Plateau Broken!

Members Were Sparked

What I did to break my plateau is switch up my weight training routine. I was doing moderate weight, moderate reps. Because I already am very muscular and don't want to build any more muscle, I switched to low weight, high (20) reps done VERY SLOWLY! (5 counts each way) Try it.

I picked out a swimsuit that was my size now at my current weight. I did not try on the suit at the store. When I got home I was sure that I could fit the suit. I tried on the suit and it was too big. I had been swimming everyday two weeks prior. I was a little sad, I liked the suit.
