4th and final fitting!
I finally went to pick up my dresses for the wedding yesterday. It’s becoming very real!! I would upload some photos here but I don’t want my fiance to see the dresses. But I’ll definitely share photos here after the event.
Speaking of dresses, I’ve now got a muscly back and arms to show off thanks to all the “negatives” I’ve been doing on the rings. I haven’t been able to do a ring dip without assist, so the coaches suggested that I do some “negatives” to build strength.
Basically I would jump up on the rings with straight arms, and lower myself down until shoulders go below the elbows - sorta like a reverse of a ring dip, hence called “negatives”. It’s made a remarkable difference in my strength, and I’ve just started being able to do ring dips without assist this past week! Yippee!
