Aaagggghhhhhhhhhhhh only 2 more days!!! I am so scared of finishing this thing I want it to keep going! I am having trouble writing my essay thing and I posted about it in the Platinum discussion forum, was hoping that some people could help me but only one did - i'm finding it difficult to write down what i'm feeling if that makes sense?

So Hoobs have you got the house? I hope so, how exciting!!!

Yay for the weight loss even though you can't really run - you must be on the right track, it's great that it;s all moving forward for you!

With the chest presses it;s relly hard as I can't see your technique. Make sure your back is flat and not arched. A good way to take it out of your back is to bring your knees up, this takes off a lot of pressure. Also try and make sure you're bringing the bar in line with your nipples or that there is a 90* angle in your armpit.

Mixing up chest...Hmmm, ok well other than the chest presses and the overhead extensions you could do pushups (are you already doing them?). You couls do flys (do you have dumbells I can't remember). Lie on a bench (or whatever you have) with a dumbell or weight in each hand and arms extended or slightly bent. Inhale and open the arms to horizontal. Raise the arms back to vertical while extending. Flys focus the work on your Pec Major.

It's really hard to think of anymore that you can do at home. In the gym I could give you heaps but you are quite limited with the equipment you have Maybe try the pushups and flys for a while and see how you go?

My training has been going really well. My arms feel like they are going to fall off this evening, we worked so hard today that the veins were literally BULGING out of my arms when we were doing bicep curls!! Good news is I can now do one full (and a couple of crappy half) unassisted, wide grip, chinups on the bars! And about 3 unassisted, narrow grip ones!
