Hi Cathe,
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but since I just received my DVD's on Friday, I only noticed this now.
In the squat section of PH, you mention that everyone uses a different weight, whatever is right for them. But what I found interesting is that Brenda was one using the lighter weight. Now Brenda is built exactly like me with the strongest muscles predominantly in her quads. I was wondering if she went lighter so as not to bulk up?
I tend to build muscle quite easily and can squat more than 40 lbs. but I really fear building even bigger muscles in my legs. I'm only 5'3" (and 1/2 ;-)) and have pretty short legs so more muscle, only makes them look shorter. I guess in a round about way what I'm trying to ask is should I keep my weight lighter for squats and lunges? And is that why Brenda is?
TIA,
Becky
