Deload Week

Fairly short day. Very good but trust-testing. I'm not doin' too shabby...just can't talk a lot sometimes when we're doing certain things. And Brian knows it's coming now too, so he's ready before it happens :)

Reverse Band Press - 135 lbs. to warm up. 185 lbs., 3 sets of 15. 135 lbs., 1 set of 30.
Cable Rope Iron Cross - 70 lbs., 3 sets of 15.
Tricep Extensions - 3 sets of 15 with 3 different bars and 3 different forms. The first was a push-down with the triangle bar. The second was a reverse extension with a straight bar. The third was hammer extension with the straight bar that you grip out at the ends...I'm not sure what it's called.
Decline Dumbbell Bench - 35 lbs., 15. 45 lbs., 2 sets of 10. Brian used his brain and made his own decline with a flat bench and a piece of wood under it, then tucked my legs underneath and strapped them that way with one of my velcro straps. And he strapped my belly. He's very smart. He figures out all kinds of ways to let me know that I'm as secure as I'm gonna get. It still sucked, and it still really scared me, but I also knew I was okay. He was very aware of everything the whole time and watched my legs to be sure they didn't come out and caught the dumbbells when I almost dropped them on my third set. It always turns out fine, it's just not my first choice to use the dumbbells. Such is life. They are important for what I do, so, I will continue. :)

Stretching :)
