Is it a balance problem? What hand are you reaching with, same or opposite?

barbell..

Oh... I say balance, so just keep working on it and you'll probably get better. Make sure your hips aren't shifting real far one way or the other.

k, thanks. Darius was at the gym today. He mouthed the word zemke to me then blew a kiss and winked.. Know what thats about?

He probably noticed that your gut was getting almost as big as his so he came onto you.

Strained my neck on the jerks. did some cardio and went home.

It seems that I'm an alley cat being swung around by the outcomes of my own workouts. On top of the world one day and pissed off and grouchy the next. Going to go back tonight and get some work done. Going to the gym quickly after waking up always ends up bad for me. 2 melatonins and a shot of nyquil last night didnt help this morning but boy did I sleep good.

lol.. no.. Upon reading your paragraph about tracking all Pr's. I started to track 1-8rm PR's. They will start to thin out and become true PR's as time goes on but for a while you will see alot of 1-8rm PR's cuz Im just starting to write them down in a journal set aside for nothing but PR's.

11/2
