Short and sweet today guys! My husband will be home in three and a half hours (after being deployed for 13 1/2 months!), and I still have things to do before we pick him home from the airport.
So today, Jamie Eason includes t-bar rows as a back exercise. I have to admit, I did not do these the first time I went through the trainer. I felt awkward doing them, and just shy I guess. Well, I have a whole new attitude now, and I'm bound and determined to follow the Trainer to a 'T' (as much as I can on the eating portion). Therefore, I did the t-bar rows, and I REALLY like them! They give a nice squeeze (if you will) to your back. For those of you not here yet, or those who have no idea what t-bar rows are, here's a link to an instructional video:

I always worked biceps today and I'm seeing growth there! I didn't increase in weight today (even with dropping to three sets of ten). I tried to move up, but my body and form were telling me not to. Overall, my biceps are feeling tighter and I'm starting to actually like my arms. Jamie Eason incorporated new bicep exercises today, introducing the hammer curl, and the hammer curl on the incline. Where I use to hate, hate, HATE arms exercises (because I was so weak), I'm actually growing to like them.
One thing that did bother me today, I changed my breakfast up some and i ended up very hungry during the end of my workout. WHICH may have played a role in why I didn't increase in weight today for my biceps. I increased in most of my back exercises, but non of my biceps. I will say, please make sure you have something to eat packed in your gym bag incase this happens. Although, I didn't feel so hungry that I needed to get something from my bag, it's always a good idea to have something available. Examples are: an apple, banana, or anything with a little bit of good sugar and carbs.
Well, I have to go get pretty for my husband! I have a GREAT poster I made for my husband, but I can't show y'all today (he might be reading my blog on the plane : ) ) I'll post pictures tomorrow! Keep pushing guys!
