Yes, I checked it at the door. I can do big girl push-ups, but they aren't very pretty. Today's program called for feet elevated push-ups. I thought I'd just do regular push-ups. But, I didn't even like my form on those, so I switched to elevating my arms. I just wasn't getting proper depth, as is often my problem. But, doing not so deep push-ups won't help me get deeper. So, I did them on the Oly bar in my power cage. I got great depth, though! Great form. I'm glad I checked the ego and did it right.
The other ego check was for the bent over trap raise, which I subbed for the crossover reverse fly, since my cable station only has one cable. The barbie-bells come out for this one. Five pounds. I tried 8 pounds and wasn't able to finish the motion at the top. So, 5 pounds it is.
I was glad it was a upper body day. My legs are still sore from Monday!
