?? A bit like push ups??

I did some lifts yesterday, I raised DD4 above my head, lowered her down ,then crouched down, then stood up again, if that makes sense. I only did it slowly 15 times but this morning my legs are aching like hell lol!! I think I'll switch down to 10 maybe 2x a day with that one!

Oh, good one. Bet your legs are sorer today? I am always sorer on day two.

this is great. whats MMA? also ive seen this on other testosterone boosting exercise sites that you should alternate the number of reps you do per set. is there a specific reason for that?

MMA is mixed martial arts. Have you seen UFC on TV? I'm not sure what alternating reps does, I will ask DH and see what he says.

Hi Girls,
i had a question. Is it Ok to do the muscle training exercises in small bits throughout the day or they have to be done at a strech of 20 to 40 mins. i mean can i do like 2 sets of squats at 10 am, then 2 sets of push ups at 12pm....then arm lifts ate 3pm....etc in my work breaks??? will that help T or we have to do them for a continuous period with a min breaks???

I've been doing mine in small bouts throughout the day Every bit helps and I don't really have any organised spaces in the day for long routines so just do what I can.

Cemas ITA with ELP! On days I don't go to the gym I'll do little things here and there when I think about it. I think it absolutely helps.
