Adam started the 'towel' drill today. It's supposed to help fix my almost-but-not-quite lockout problem, because I only bring the bar down until the towel hits my chest, which is about half way. Then I push it back up...so it forces me to push through that dead spot. It actually worked already today. I pushed through on my last set once he took the towel off.
Bench Press w/ Towel - 115 lbs., 12. 125 lbs., 3 sets of 12. Then without towel, 115 lbs., 8.
Supersets of Cable Straight Arm Overhead Pullovers and Cable Skull Crushers - 70 lbs., 3 sets of 15.
Machine Flies - Tempo 211, 70 lbs, 4 sets of 12.
Machine Bench (Vertical) - 230 lbs., 4 sets of 10.
There are two grips on the machines, one is straight out the sides, like regularly pressing a bar, and one is out front so that your arms are in front of you instead of beside you. This is the first time I ever did bench press vertically. I switch on Machine Military very often, I don't know if I ever marked it before...it usually goes about every other week. Anyway, it seems to be for me that vertical is a little easier than regular (horizontal).
Cable Tricep Kickbacks - 20 lbs., 15, 15, 12, 12. I changed my position on this, to help my elbow, and it worked out really well today.
Wrist Curls - EZ Bar - 4 sets of 25.
Crunches w/ 25 lb. plate, 4 sets of 25.

- I'm 29 years old. I live in Columbiana, Ohio. I was born with Spina Bifida and have no use of my legs. I began lifting weights June 16th, 2008. I decided to train for Powerlifting November 3rd, 2008. My goal is to win a slot on a U.S. Paralympic Powerlifting Team. My Powerlifting Trainer is Brian Raneri. He's the best there is. I'm so thankful to have him in my corner. I've learned that a goal worth reaching is never easy to attain. You have to work at it and fight for it. But, if you do it for yourself and you never stop fighting, no one can take it away from you.
