Disc 19 Ramble Good & Bad

[fitme40]

Just got done doing Disc 19 Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. My arms are fried and it's feels funny to type Anyway, yesterday DH and I put together my weight bench that I bought about a year ago. It was a must since I've nearly killed myself the last two weeks trying to lift my loaded bar up to do bench press. It was awesome having the bench!! I'm sorry I didn't take the time to assemble it sooner. Space is an issue but I'll make room. Now my only problem is hoisting the dumbbells up to do flys. I did okay until my last set of incline flys. I literally couldn't get them into position and had to drop down in weight. I can't think of a solution. Is there one?? I also had to drop my reps then my weights doing the seated front press. They were tough! I hate not being able to lift what my workout card says I should be lifting but I know I need to listen to my body-and it was screaming This program is great and the one thing that I can't stop thinking is that now I REALLY know what it means to work until failure. It's tough but it really works! It gives me a wonderful feeling of achievement.

I have Disc 19 on the schedule this morning. I'm nervous just looking at my workout card. I've been using my Valor squat stands and weight bench for BP as there was no other way I could lift my bar to get into position.

I just wanted you to know that you're not alone with having to lower the weights. I was so hung up on the numbers and getting frustrated when I couldn't lift what was on my workout card. I think the muscle failure factor (which I didn't have when testing for 1RM) makes a huge difference on performance. I agree with listening to our bodies and dropping the weight when the form starts to suffer. Don't need any injuries!

Double Wave Load...aka Double Wipe Out

When I finally finished getting wiped out...I was wondering if she does this in Meso 3 and how I'm I suppose to be able to handle more weight!

I guess I will have to do some shopping

Thanks Cathe for not making workout 19 all double waves because I would have drown

Yeah-I thought about Meso 3 as well. I was going to look at the workout cards but I think it's better if I don't know! My Troy Lite Barbell only goes up to 60lbs. and that's what I'm using now. I have some older metal plates-I guess I'll have to pull them out.
