I did alternate, but in this case, five lbs difference was not so different. You're pressing them together in front of your chest, so you're pretty balanced. It was really the shaking and quivering that were the problems, at this point...

I'll be honest that I didn't get enough sleep and drank slightly too much, except for the first night. I ate very healthy from breakfast until dinner, worked out, then drank.
Tue: pitcher of light beer
Wed: pitcher and a half of light beer, and half a bottle of wine
Thu: two 22oz Sapporo, a pitcher of non-light beer, and half a bottle of wine
Fri: Let's just say there was a lot of airport time before the flights and on the layovers, so we spent it in bars saying goodbye to each other.
I caught up on sleep by crashing in my seat before the plane took off in Atlanta and waking up when the wheels touched down on OC.
This was my first training class with salespeople, all my past classes were with technical people. Coincidence? I don't think so.

I like the character of the old stuff. Some people can't deal. On the 3rd day, this dick (he was a dick every day before) comes up while I'm doing my snatches and starts to lift the rusty 65lb one. He slammed it down, complaining about how "you can't get a good workout with this crap." I didn't say anything to him, but you'll notice that after I did my snatches, my entire workout was with that 65lb db.
