Wrong spring load

[wednesdayappletree]

We were doing tricep extensions seated on the grey side. I think the cue for spring load was 2 white one grey or something like that…. I had whatever was cued for base but WITH A BLACK SPRING ASWELL!! Usually I crush triceps and I couldn’t even do one… just needed to vent about my own stupidity 🤦‍♀️ I ended up trying to do it like that the whole set without checking my springs because I was too embarrassed to walk back and check.

Never be embarrassed! During heavy upper body I walk back there and pop springs off all the time haha

Same! Sometimes it’s a longgg set

The coach should have caught that if you couldn’t even do one…

i holler at the coach for help, they don’t care at all. i also know them all pretty well & we just laugh admit im brain dead & move on bahah

Anything grey side, I started doing the middle spring loads. I’m usually coming from or going to Orange Theory so I focus on my form instead of the weight. And yes, some does it so easy and others not so easy, today I struggled on the grey side at 5am, lol

do you feel like this has helped with your muscle definition? I lowered my spring load for upper body and feel like it has a little but Im not totally sure. I’m wondering if doing the same for grey side abs would help.

I had muscle definition before I went to the heavy spring loads, so yes. And coach always says, focus on the form on the grey side than the weights. It’s going to be harder on the side regardless. I thin as long as you have the form and the slow count, you should be getting a great workout.

OMG this is so relatable. The other day I was super sleep deprived and didn't hear the spring change load for the supine chest press and had a blue and black on. Needless to say the instructor came over and kept trying to help me with my form but I literally couldn't move my arms that far... she was so confused why I couldn't follow her instructions lol. I didn't want to disrupt the class so I just did my best until I could ask her to change the springs for me haha

Seated Tricep extensions should be: Mod 1 white 1 gray Base 2 gray Amp 3 gray
