Walk, jog, jump rope, whatever. Move around and drink water. You'll feel better soon. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!" "Pain is only weakness leaving the body."

So if I'm on a routine that I set for as 8 to 12 and can only hit 6 then the weight is to heavy but on the other hand if hitting 12 consistent is a easy thing to do the weight is to light! Your last set should be your toughest so if your doing 4 sets of Squats and use a 6 to 9 and your 3rd set was 9 and at the same weight the 4th 6 this is good! -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!
