Question about weight in videos??????????

[angela123]

Hi Cathe! I am a little confused about the amount that you use in the videos. Say for example in pyramid lower body you say you are using (30,35,40). Does that mean total weight or just on one side?
So are you lifting (30,35,40) or (60,70,80)??
I know this may be a weird question but the reason I am asking is because your barbell looks waaay more loaded than mine with 40lbs.
Can anyone please clarify? Thanks!

The weight that she is lifting is the total weight including the weight of the actuall barbell. The system she is using uses a 5 lb barbell and then if she uses lets say 10 on each side which would be a total weight of 25 lbs. 10 on each side equalling 20 lbs plus the 5 lb barbell giving a total of 25 lbs. I hope that answers your question.
