MUCH better.

Today was shoulder/back.

I Military Pressed with Free Weight, 85 lbs., 6 reps every time. Adam laughed again because my third and forth set, after he started talking a little more, was better than my first and second set. He told me to tell the Paralympic people that I need two "warm-ups" before I can lift, cuz my third set is always better than my first and second. haha.

Backwards Rows w/ 35 lb. Dumbbells were next. I really like them...except, I just got home and I have bruises on my forearms already from hugging the bench to stabilize myself. I don't know why I like them so much, but I really like them. Adam says they're his least favorite aside from leg exercises, and that everyone usually hates them. Leave it to me to feel the safest when everyone else doesn't, right?!

Then we did some band stuff...one was Bent Over Rows, and one I think he put down as an "Iron Cross". I held my arms straight out in front of me and pulled till they were straight out to the side.

On my own was Smith Military, Single Arm so I only used 30 lbs and my stability was WAY off even on the machine...so we're scratching that. Pull ups 6, 6, 5, 5,...which actually was pretty good because he increased my tempo to holding myself up for two seconds instead of one. I did 5 wrist curls and I DID NOT take a break in between!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! And Supermans, 2 sets of 20.

Really good day...a lot of fun...very conversational so it kept me preoccupied, swapping stories back and forth and whatnot. Kept him a little preoccupied too, but that's another story. lol. It was a good time. I really didn't even mind Free Weight Military as much as usual...I still struggled, but I'm getting there.
