Tri-Cept-a-licious

Dear Training Diary,

The other day Luke brought out that crazy bosu ball again for tricep pushups. I swear I am gonna eat rubber everytime I get near it. I am not a fan of it! Mostly because I struggle ridiculously at it. They are right near the end of the session and by the time I get to that part I am just almost out of gas. I know he has really good reasons for doing them that way but I think it is just so he can laugh at me. I start my training session AND almost end with pushups. They say that pushups are great for building strength without bulking up. I am sleek and I can say I am stronger for sure, so I must be doing something right. I am still on my knees for them but I have very good reasons...

1. On my knees, I can get deeper and I feel it all across my shoulders/arms and chest.
2. On my toes, If I am only going down like 2 inches is it REALLY doing what it is supposed to?
3. I pretty much begged him for mercy and said I would double the amount on my knees JUST to get off my toes. Aaaaaaannnnddddd he did. I really need to learn to control my inner conversations.
4. Uhm and frankly I just plain suck at pushups

I will admit though that on tricep days my arms feel like jello at the end and driving home is a challenge. Sometimes I just sit in my car for a bit listening to the radio so that I don't crash. Would I change how I feel after? Not on your life!! I know that there is a reason for everything. I am starting to notice changes in my arms and it is so cool! Sometimes I just stand in front of the mirror flexing in different positions just to see how different muscles pop out and say hello to me.

So with all that said I am going to just leave you with a small taste of what is it really like for me. (Notice the smile on his face and NOT on mine). I had no idea this video was being taken so you get all of me on this. and YES I am a grunter.. LOL. My form may not be fantastic but the effort was there and my trainers were proud of me.

Love from the Tri-Cept-a-licious sweaty gurl in front of the mirror RAWKIN IT!!!
