    What a silly name! There's nothing sissy about these things! My quads are killing.

    Maybe it's short hand for "assisted".

    Glutes are getting sore now too. Although that could be from the plyometric stuff I did in between.

    wow- that was not easy. And I wasn't even using any added weight.
    How do you keep your knees from hurting while doing that? I appeared to be doing it just like the little video lady, but my knees did not appreciate that.
    I can see how they would be beneficial tho for sure!!! Well-done!

    Now get back to teaching!!

    My trainer puts a weight belt around a post and I lean back against the weight belt which is just below my knees.
