I’ve been working with Carlos and John at Adrenalin Gym on my incline dumbbell bench presses. I told them I’ve never been a strong lifter, and they won’t accept that (in the best way possible).
Yesterday I did the 60s for 12 reps, then John helped me (I lifted the weight all myself; he helped me prepare psychologically for the lift) do the 65 lb. dumbbells for 5 reps! I couldn’t get the dbs in position at first, and my mind was fried at that point, but John wouldn’t let me quit. I got back on the bench and repped ‘em out for a good quality 5 reps! Thanks to both John & Carlos!!!
The mind is a powerful motivator (or if you let it, “demotivator”). Next time, I’m going to try for the 70s!!!
