STS ? about double wave loading

[Jane P]

I'm scheduled to do meso 2, week 3 next week, but I have a question about double wave loading. I don't have weighted gloves or platemates. How do you increase your weights in such small increments? For example 5% of 15 lbs is .75. I want to buy weighted gloves, but am waiting until the 2lbs each pair is available. Any suggestions?

ankle weights

Do you have ankle weights? I have a pair that are adjustable and have been using those. I just put them around my wrists when needed.

I do that as well. Also, if I can't hit the exact target weight because it's an odd number, I'll round up to the next number I can hit and see if that works for me.

Same for me.... I actually have all sorts of adjustable poundage & set poundage (1/2 & 1) in ankle wts...I also have the microload gloves but must admit I think changing out that little baggie of sand takes a lot longer than throwing on a velcro wrist weight. (thats just me tho- I am not useful at all with my left hand)

did you purchase the ankle weights from cathe.com? I'm not sure which ones to get...

You can also buy wrist weights, they come in various weights, I found Reebok ones at Target.
