I just finished week 4 of strength training. Looking back just 4 weeks ago I have already inproved. I started squatting just the bar (45lbs) and needed help. Today for a warm up I used the bar with no problems. Pure amazing and I am so pumped for the next month. Again, Mr. Awesome Boyfriend is great at research. He found squat shoes to help with form. My shoes are called inov and come in an awesome blue/purple color. They have a 3/4in stiff heal for proper squat form. They were about $140 from an online store. There are better known brands but for the price and being a newbie these are a great 1st shoe.

Thank you Ms. Monroe… I have found my shoes!
