     I know that the DB bench isn't a major lift to a lot of people, but being able to press the 60's definitely lifts my spirits. I wasn't sure I would be able to do it. My hands were sweaty and I was nervous because there was a lot of people around. But I rolled back onto the bench, set myself, and got those damn things up. Very proud of myself tonight. 

     I need to work on my back, so I'll be doing more of the DB rows - they always seem to help me out. I'm learning to take it easier on myself and not knock myself down so much. It only took me 10+ years to finally figure out that I should be my biggest support system, not my biggest critic. Better late than never, I suppose. 

     Tomorrow is max effort sumo dead so I need to watch some instructionals on that. It's a lift that I've never really worked on.
