And again I say....

There's a saying that's humoring me tonight because it's reminding me SO much of how I'm acting. Did anybody's mother ever say "If I told you once, I've told you a thousand times?" Or "How many times do I have to tell you?" I feel like that's what God has been looking down saying to me....(and Brian too, in his own subtle way. And probably my parents. haha) I only worked up to 135 lbs. today on the bench but when I sat up, the pro that was there teaching the bench part of the hands-on session of the seminar said "She should be teaching the class." He threw out something about my elbows but said it's just a preference and I bench almost identical to how he benches.

SO, NOW to write ALL this down and who has said what to me over the past 6 weeks and COMPLETELY engrain it into every nook & cranny of my brain by the time the next meet comes!!!!!! Seriously....how many more times do I need to be told that my bench is perfect, I just need to bench? Let's hope NONE!!!!

Brian and I did some lat work while the rest of the crew went over deadlift. Here are the numbers:
Cambered Bar Rows - 75 lbs., 10. 85 lbs., 10. 95 lbs., 2 sets of 8. 85 lbs., 10.
Single-Arm Dumbbell Rows - 35 lbs., 2 sets of 12. 2 sets of 10.
Lat Pulldown - 70 lbs., 10. 80 lbs., 10. 90 lbs., 7, 8.

I absolutely had so much fun this weekend. The lectures yesterday were awesome & very interesting. Lots of interaction went on even at those sessions. The guys hung around and answered even more questions than they answered during lecture. Today was training day. I learned a lot, even about the squat and deadlift forms. I had a great time watching everyone else and seeing what I could pick up in my own head before the pros would give their critiques on people. I hung around long enough to be able to watch them train & watch Brian train. That's one of my favorite things & I haven't been there for that in a very, very long time. I gained a lot of little cues to remind myself of how to do things in my setup or during my actual press. I also got some ideas of how to think about benching even when doing other exercises. And I spoke with the guys about the mental stuff too. Then they invited me to dinner, as well. We laughed and had a great time. It was such a great weekend. I couldn't have asked for better. I'm so glad that Brian held the seminar. It was a fantastic experience.
