Big Business!

Me? Or Brian? Both. :-D

Brian's been doing so well with gaining more clients for personal training!!! I'm really happy for him. He's good and knows what he's doing and deserves the business. It's actually a bit up in the air, whether he'll be able to take time off to go to my next meet. (so everyone say an extra special prayer about that one for Chelsi.) But, I'm super excited that it's working out so well since he took the gym over. Those steps into the unknown really shine some light in your life when they work out...especially so quickly. :-)

He was getting a pretty big kick out of how big my arms are today....so that's my big business. He even called another guy over to watch me to the exercise! lol. I don't know if it was the position of the exercise or if they're growing again. But he makes me laugh. I'm glad he's so excited and gets to see physical results with what he's doing with me. Has to make him feel good that it's doing what it's supposed to.

Another good day in the books. For real, all he has to do to make it a good day anymore is throw in my back-raises. It makes me feel real good that I can do them. :-D Today I was bumming a little about it, because we did them a little differently where I started up and he held me with a band and as he let go slightly with the band I was supposed to hold position. I didn't think I was able to hold much so I was a little disappointed. But, when we went over to the next workout, Brian said I did very well and I was actually holding once I got a little past half-way. I really needed him to tell me that, cuz it didn't feel like I was doing much at all. So, I'm glad he made sure I knew he was happy with it. It definitely made me not so disappointed in myself.

Cambered Bar Rows - 65 lbs., 4 sets of 10.
Dumbbell Rows - 25 lbs., 2 sets of 25. Brian had me do both arms at the same time, which I wasn't too thrilled about, but then he held me down along w/ my straps, so that made it all better. :-D
Back Raises - Inclined.....who knows how many. I did a set regular and then we did a few that I had to hold.
Lateral Pull-down - I actually don't know what the weight was. It was lighter. I got a lot of reps the first time. Then I did 2 or 3 more sets of 12. I was strapped and then Brian braced me so I sat straight. REALLY helps when he does that.
I THINK the next thing we did, he called Pythons - This is when he was getting such a kick out of how thick my arms are. It was a bicep curl, but the cable was up higher and my arms were straight out and I curled to my forehead. I actually liked them. I used 40 & 50 lbs. for a few sets of like 10 or 12.

<3 Stretching <3

Say a prayer for me. I have to go get a scan done on my abdomen on Friday and I have to have an IV for it. :-( My very very least favorite thing in the whoooooooooole universe. I'm even pondering switching training times because it's so draining for me....and depending on how well (or not well) it goes, Brian might not even want to deal with me that day. But, we'll see what happens.
