Tody was lat day. Brian found that my elbows probably hurt because I was curling my hands underneath the row bar to be able to pull up higher, which shortens the muscles going from my wrist to my elbows. So, I started straightening them and then got very perturbed because I couldn't pull back as far. Brian said it's okay because I'm really at a disadvantage and proceeded to explain how people usually push down with their feet harder, the farther back they pull, because the fulcrum changes. He said there was an entire section in his certification course on fulcrums and he never knew why and then he met me. :-D It made me laugh. And it made me feel better that there's a real reason I'm not doing it right. I always know that, but, it's nicer to understand and have it explained to me....and to have someone that understands and can explain it.

- 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.
