Bent-Over Rows
18kg x 8
20.5kg x 8
29.5kg x 10 Added weight but 3/4 way through the set the trainer came up and corrected form. I was not using my lats enough and squeezing back rather using my traps and pulling up. He showed me how to do it correctly... was a struggle with the heavier weight, so last set I dropped weight to get the form spot on

I'm still waiting to see a big guy doing squats (or just even near the rack) to help me with my form.... there are hardly any big guys at my gym!!

Oh and Zed, you don't even need to ask about the high heels... of course I'm wearing them!!

I hear ya...believe it or not, even though I train at a Gold's, there aren't that many "serious" people training there. The other thing you can do is watch some videos of various lifts at home and practice while watching them. I've done that too. But, as I learned recently, it's still good to have someone watch you because even the smallest thing will make a difference.

I suck at heels so I'm impressed!!

Gr8 for you Rach....Roxy get on them heels chika!
