First time using a bench press today and it was hard to balance without shaking, looking forward to getting better though.

one thing i would do is add bet servings at least 2 palm size of almonds, They contain Omega 3 fatty acids and micro nutrients!

You have no idea how relieved that makes me feel lol!! I felt really silly just having trouble with the bar in there...

No need to feel silly girl! Everyone starts somewhere, and you're doing fantastic!

The thing that helped me the most, was to position my hands properly ( there are actual 'rings' on the bar) and if you make sure you are holding it even, say both ring fingers around the rings it helps . Focus on the movement, bringing the bar down to touch your chest slow and steady as you can. You will loose that shaky feeling in no time.

Oh yeah, I think I know what rings you are talking about. The ones that aren't 'ribbed' I will have to try this!! Do you think I should wait a week before doing them again? I'm really sore but if it's Ok to do them a couple days later (3 days) I'm going to try and push it. But I'm not sure if it's Ok I don't want to do damage either...

Your doing amazing huni. A trick I learned is whichever arm is lagging think of that arm and before you know it they will both be equil

 

[gogocherryrose]

aw thank you that means a lot to me coming from someone so experienced

i did notice my left arm is not as strong and the bar falls down further on that side, kinda freaky
