I decided to make another day of working on my squat. I filmed them all so I could see the good, the bad, and the ugly. I still didn't see anything crazy bad. Except that I had my wrists at an angle rather than straight. That would be easier to do if I were using a squat rack, I think.
I started off with the warm up from Rachel Cosgrove's book Female Body Breakthrough. Although I admit I was taking my time, it took me 24 minutes. I think I could easily cut that down to 20 minutes, but still, that is too long for a warm up when I'm doing a full New Rules workout. She says it should take 10-15 minutes. I could probably do that, but I would be wiped before my real workout really started! I was already sweating after the 20 minute version! Maybe I'll pick a few to start out with. I do need better warm ups... at least more than almost nothing.
I was also working on push-ups using my Iron Gym Extreme. I did them only with arms in, so the rep count is pretty low.
FBB warm up
Squats - 10@BW, 8@30#, 8@40#, 8@60#
Push-ups - 4x5 arms in on Iron Gym, wrists facing in
That took me 48 minutes.
