Never Ending Leverages

So, today I busted out 6 triceps extensions with 20 lb. dumbbells. Then Brian gave me 25 lbs., and it buried me. That's happened before. So, I asked him if I could try it one arm at a time. That didn't work. So, he went back and got the 20's. But while he was exchanging them I analyzed how I was moving when I tried one arm. When he came back over, I told him to throw a chain across my belly....to give me something to push against, so my lower back/pelvis didn't come up. He looked at me rather strangely. But, he grabbed a chain and as he put it over me, he said it did kind of make sense. haha. It felt a lot better, but, it was hard to tell with the 20's. So, he got the 25's again and I actually got 3 reps out of them!!!!!!!!!! We were shooting for six, but, atleast I was able to do something with them! Made me real happy. I might have him try an additional chain next week. I'm still thinking about it, myself, and trying to process all of it. But, I was pretty excited that it worked, at least a little!!!
