I discover that there are two Nautilus benches and one is in use. But I can claim the other one. Of course, these benches are at the heavy end of the DB rack. The heavier, bigger benches are at the lighter end. I suspect that's because the Nautilus benches are newer and thus closer to the main area. All that this means is that I have to dodge and weave between other members on those bigger benches just to access the lighter DBs that I'm using. But I'm able to do just that and complete all my sets. It's a good day!
I only notice the sciatica when I'm face down doing Reverse Inclined Flys because I need to press up against the back with my legs extended. It puts a lot of stress on that sore right glute and consequently, the sciatic nerve bundle. There's no one in the Aerobics Room and everything is good until I lay down and do hip bridges. Hip bridges never used to hurt, and now they do, starting around rep 12. It's the same thing with Bird Dogs, starting at the 12th second. Push-ups are also painful, and after the DB routine, my arms and shoulders are tired. Everything else is fine, even the Wall Sits... makes me want to say "Thank goodness tomorrow is a Cardio Day."
