Epitome of Problem-Solving

Brian is the epitome of problem-solving. Just when I think there can't be anything crazier for us to do, he does it. But it works SOOOOOO well, every! single! time! It might take time...it might take weeks or months, but, he comes up with answers to just about any leverage/stability/balance issue I have.

Today we did Barbell Rows. I'm not a huge fan of Barbell Rows. Honestly, I think it's because I'm weak and it frustrates me. But, I think it frustrates me because I've always felt weak because I can't get the right stability to do what I need to do. That's close to all but over, thanks to Brian and his willingness to try about anything. He strapped me differently today, strapping my legs back and underneath the bench. When I complained that it felt like my butt was picking up too much, he went to the back of the bench, put his feet up on it, and kneeled down on my butt. It was completely perfect!!!!!!!!!! I felt the exercise SO much in my lat muscles because I wasn't compensating to keep myself still on the bench! Then he did the same thing for Dumbbell Rows. It was completely awesome. And it made me smile. :-)

He still doesn't feel good :-( Please keep prayers going. My sessions aren't the same without some chit-chat ;-)
