Well, yea for reaching total muscle failure today! Boo, for dropping a barbell on myself because I didn't have a spotter. Lesson learned! I promise! I was at first using only the bar to do close grip bench presses, but after a few sets I went up to 50 lbs... yes, I put 2.5's on the bar. Well, on my second to last rep I almost failed and I should have racked the damn thing. But no, I tried for one more. I could not get the damn bar back up. I got one side racked but even with both hands, could not get the other side up. Apparently NO ONE saw what was going on, because I sure as hell would have helped someone who looked like me at that point (it was pretty dead though) So I finally pushed really hard with my legs and slid myself up under the bar into a sitting position where I was finally (barely) able to get the bar back on the rack.... talk about embarrassing!! Oh well, at least not too many people saw what was going on. Next time I WILL use a spotter!!!
Other than that it was a good workout. I also filled out a form to contact the lone trainer that has figure experience at my gym. I probably should have waited a bit, but I want to make sure she actually can help me. Id on't want to find out a month from the competition that she does do that etc.
