Hi Cathe and educated crowd,
Currently I am at a point that I believe I could not hoist my barbell any heavier over my head for leg work without risking injury to myself. The current load does not feel as challenged, for strength type workout. My choice is either staying at the current weight load, or getting either a squat rack or weighted vest. If I choose to stay at my current load, does that mean I will be in the 'maintenance' mode? Does that mean I have to do more reps (endurance type) since lower reps (with the current load) does not feel challenged? Will I loose any strength gains? Any suggestions besides getting a weighted vest or squat rack?
TIA!
