have no fear!

Yesterday was one of the few days i had as many positive as negative feelings about training...I was looking forward to it but also afraid since the last time that I squatted was so bad.... But everything seems to have gone ok, and I feel confident again and i'm looking forward to wednesday, when we will be training back.

  After the workout my arms were so pumped!!!! It was cool! I should have taken a selfie but I was too self-conscious, LOL....
  
  My coach asked me about how I want to train, and my goals , etc, and, after thinking of it a bit, here's what I replied:
  
  Short term goals:
  1. getting the technique for the big three good enough that I can do them on my own.
  2. learning additional "minors" which can help me and knowing how I should prioritize.
  Long term goals:
  looking like a bikini competitor (even if it sound delusional right now).
  
  As for now I'm quite happy how things are going, I do see the progress and it helps A LOT when I get positive feedback from him. He's the best coach ever!
