Hard Times

Sorry I'm late everyone. My day began with being poked with a needle and ended with finding out that Jack was already on his way out to New Mexico. That's definitely the LEAST ideal day on record for an extremely long time.

BUT, my in between was again wonderful. :) We only did two exercises yesterday, but both ended up very wonderful. As decent as my bench press was when I got to Brian, he's still improving it. Yesterday, we didn't do more than 65 lbs., but, we messed with my form a lot. And I think he fixed my right elbow situation. He's told me to pull the bar apart and pull myself to the bar instead of pulling the bar to me since I started with him. I had NO idea what he meant until yesterday. Then yesterday he had me turn my elbows in when I grip the bar...and PRESTO! You pretty much pull the bar apart and end up pulling yourself into it! I pulled my elbows apart on the way down and I was still able to stay very tight!! I really pushed through my lats more than I ever have. My elbow didn't crack or hurt. I felt much stronger. I stayed much tighter. And the weight got lighter. He said THAT'S my groove. I was really excited. Now I just need to make it a habit of staying right there. We tried some crazy band work, but it didn't really work out too well. It made me smile though :) Brian's so crazy. He does the most insane drills. Very fun :)

Then, we did <3 Back Raises <3 I did really well yesterday. I think I came up a little higher, and I was able to hold higher. It was awesome. Those are the best.

And Stretching :-D

Very good gym day.
