My Workout with SideSteel

So this morning I got to go workout with Patrick (SideSteel). He taught me how to do some lifts (deadlift, squat, bench) and I have to say, it was the most fun I've ever had at a gym! Pat made everything really easy for me to follow, and he explained everything to a nerdy degree (I loved it). We kept it really low key, working on form and he gave me some really easy to follow/practical diet advice.

I left today feeling super empowered and excited to try it out at my own gym! I have to admit, I was one of those people intimidated by the barbell, but I think I'm a convert now thanks to Pat.

Lifting is fun! Woo!

    Patrick sent me a video or your pulls - really solid and very strong looking. I was definitely impressed. And I am so glad you enjoyed yourself - it is such a great feeling...even if you had to put up with Patrick. [j/k...as I mentioned on another thread, I have seen him train people and I think he rocks at it]

    Awesome! I wish I lived closer. I could totally use the services of a trainer and this area seems devoid of ones that lift.

    Well, he is a big meany.

    He usually makes fun of my Ed the trucker morning voice, my troll hands and my ginormous *kitten*, to name but a few. :happy:
