A gymbunny, I will be

I went back to the gym today for the first time in two months. I did 2/3 of the sets that I would usually do at lighter weights, same reps. ^$%!^*^$# ^$%!@^*^$1# *^$%!!^*^$# mother freakin’ chugger.

A1: BB Heel Elevated Squat (20kg BB with 4010 count) – 12/12/12/10 (22.5kg for last set)

A2: Chest Supported Row (12kg KB with 4011 count) – 12/12/12/12

B1: Single Leg Dead Lift (16kg KB with 4011 count) -12/12/12/12

Setting a goal gives me tremendous focus. This is what I have to do, and I will work my hamster butt off to make sure that I reach goal. Or at least try extremely hard and fail a couple times. When I first started doing thrusters, I did an average of 50 thrusters with a 5kg x 2 DB. A couple months later, I progressed to an average in the 60s region. Last weekend, I had a chance to glance at my Goals & Rewards and I realised that I’ve yet to achieve my thrusters and burpees goal.

Today, I went into gym with four hours of sleep in me. Not a great executive decision by a stretch but, got to be consistent right? Inspite of that, I kick butt in my goal busting.

I did 108 thrusters in 5mins!!!

*breaks into happy dance*

Wonderful beginnings. I had an awesome Monday sesh, did not push myself to failure but lifted a heavier weight compared to last week with NO back spasm. (more…)

It is not a mistake that week 10 and 11 are missing. Week 10 was canvassing the streets of HK looking for my next bargain and 11 trying not to lose a lung or faint from coughing too hard.

D2 is different from E in terms of training style but he is as encouraging and, gives clear explanation of lifting posture, effective modifications if you are unable to complete it. (more…)
