EXCERCISES: Barbell Squat

Oxygen Magazine - april 2004 - Katy Odiatu

I used to use the Smith Machine solely for squats. I have since branched out and I'm adding weight. I'm nervous to add too much weight though as I start to lift heavier to add size. I'm afraid I'll make an ass out of myself and lift too much. I need to quit that. I added 100 to the bar yesterday and honestly it hurt my forarms and wrists more than my legs. It was a lot of weight to be walking around with on my shoulders but damn did it feel good to squat that much on my own!!!

About This Blog

I am Tori (FITori) and welcome to my blog!!!

I created this blog from the encouragement of my best friend who pushed me to start a blog about my passion, which I am always talking about! It started as a way to inspire others the way I have been inspired and to share what inspires me. I also want to share with you what I have learned through my years of research on health and fitness.

For me, this blog is a great place for me to document my fitness journey. I decided to compete this year, but have transferred that goal to next year so that I can bulk and compete in Figure. This blog is my accountability and hopefully I can get some advice and tips along the way. I am hoping that I can learn from you all also as I post what I am learning along the way. If I am wrong or there is advice for me, I want it! I want your theories. What are you doing differently?

I'm also looking for accountability to keep this up and inspiration from you all. I read your blogs and get inspired and knowing you're reading mine keeps me going!

Thank you for your support!!! Let me know if you have any special requests for blog posts!
