A lot of people just use their arms when they do rows. They never focus on the muscles in their back and get them working. It's not something that you can just go do if you haven't worked at it before. Especially with heavy weight. I think it's kind of both of the things that you mentioned. When I'm lifting, I want to be contracting and squeezing the muscles in my back. But when I put a lot of weight on the bar, I just can't make the connection or flex the muscle. Well, I can now...and that's what I'm working on. But I want it to become more natural...and better. I have a better connection with my right side, so I'm able to activate more muscles/muscle fibers.
I'm covered on my dad's health insurance. It's just crappy insurance. They cover 60% for out-patient visits. And 80% for in-patient stuff. He told me if I get sick and need to go get see the doctor, then I had better spend the night because the bill just
might be cheaper.
