I can’t believe that I am finally doing dips. This is only my second time doing a full dip. I was always having problems with my shoulder whenever I would get close to having the strength. My shoulder problems were apparently being exacerbated more by bench press than by dips. Coach Breck advised me to lay off the Bench Press, my shoulder has improved significantly, and now I am dipping! Thanks Breck.
After watching the video I look forward to being mauled by the “Bear” in the near future. Hated to miss tonight. See everyone Wednesday.

All five rounds with a 30# bar. I felt pretty good for my 1st workout back after my wreck. A little sore today….
It was great to be back & see everyone again! I was very impressed with the other girls last night…hopefully I will be back at full strength before too long!
