Facing The Giants.

Well, I won't go into all of it. But, again, Brian and I have had a long couple of days with a couple rather intense conversations. We're getting really good at those. ;-) I really think I'm being less argumentative. Brian really knows how I tick. And he does a great job at relating to me. It was pretty difficult for me to start physical therapy wtih all the memories and emotional feelings of the past and having so much therapy when I was a kid. I think, after my conversations with Brian, I'm being able to realize that it's NOT the same as when I was a kid and I have a lot more choices that I can make myself.

Physical therapy was actually really great. My knee is already straighter from one session and I found out I have some inner hip muscles that are working that I didn't know worked. It's going to be a very good thing. I just have to work through conquering the giants from the past so I can have a better future. But, I know I can. And Brian's gonna work closely with my P.T. so he knows what to help me with. And my mom's gonna stretch me in the evenings, also. It's gonna be a good thing.

My bench press wasn't great today. Was not completely awful, but wasn't great. Considering all the things going on, I don't think Brian was terribly surprised. Plus I'm still getting over my deload week. That always throws me off.

I'm a little late blogging. I apologize. Here's what I did yesterday:

Bench with pauses - 145 lbs., 155 lbs., 160 lbs., 165 lbs., 170 lbs., all for doubles. My second rep on 170 was REALLY sloppy.

Triceps Pressdowns - 70 lbs., 12. 80 lbs., 3 sets of 12.

Lateral Raises - 15 lbs., 3 sets of 12.
