My happy place is a bit less happy on friday early evening. The gym is so crowded! Full of bros! Every rest between one set and the next I had someone asked me how many sets to go.... I can't concentrate like that, seriously! I guess I'll stick to different times, up to now the best have been at aroung 2 p.m or really late...like midninght or something like that, especially on the weekend....so, yes, I'll stick to that. Some fitness experts ( Pauline) suggest chaninging the time for better results, like not always training in the morning or not always in the evening. Personally I don't have a set time now that I'm not working, so I can go whenever I want...i can try that of the changing times.... Sometimes i just feel the urge at some given moment , it's like, "I have to go to the gym NOW!" and sometimes I "plan" a bit more. ... My life as it is now is, in that sense, pure luxury! having the time i want.... i'll make sure to take advantage oof that :P
Leg day today after so long not doing pretty much anything...It was hard, quite hard, I even thought to stop in the middle and go home and come back tomorrow...but sure as hell I wouldn't do that, have we met?! It's not my style! Rather training to failure, deloading the weights.... feeling exhausted.... than interrupting. I've NEVER cut a session before I was done.... ok, once with my former PT, he did, bacause it was 3 am and we had started at midnight and he saw I literally couldn't lift a fucking dumbbell...OMG! That was one of the best days of the year! Training with him at that time was really cool! I miss him. Today I thought a lot about him because it happens rarely to me that I am so exhausted that I want to quit. It happens rarely when I'm alone but it happened quite often while training with him.
As for my new coach...i'm still waiting for my plan... soooo looking forward to it. I want to get started as soon as possible. I'm always full of expectations when I open my mailbox...but it doesn't happen .... I hope soon....
About other stuff in my life...what other stuff in my life? Is there anything besides training? Sometimes I wish there wasn't...that says enough.

Loooooong time no blogged!
I haven't been to the gym since forver due to a tooth surgery...it's really annoying not being allowed to do any sport. Last time I was there was last thursday and it went quite well.... it was leg day, I was so tired afterwards that I didn't even blogged LOL, but it went well.
here's what I did:
Squats: 5x5 with 42,5 kg
Deadlifts: 5x5 with 67,5 kg (next time 70!!!)
Lunges (front): 5x 12 reps with 7,5 kg each side (next time 10kg)
Calves (sitting extensions) 8x10 with 20 kg ( 5 seconds holing it) (next time 25kg)
Glute Bridges...I didn't :/
Maybe my coach overestimates me sometimes, but you always have to go for more than what you think you can do...if you achieve it, then perfect, if not, you have tried. Main thing is not remaining on your comfort zone.
I can't wait to go back to the gym! I hope the dentist allows me to go today even if it's just for some cardio or dancing...but something!!!! Up to yesterday I still had some pain...actually I do have a bit still, but I don't want to wait forever!!!! Today I'm hoping for some Les Mills course, either Combat or Sh'bam and I hope tomorrow I can TRAIN again. I can't wait to try my shoes :)
As for the training itself last time, it was really hard...at some point I though "I quit"... but that's how it's suppossed to be! the more you push yourself, the better the results! and if it was easy , it wouldn't be a challenge...and I'm all about the challenge!... well...as long as it seems achieveble, otherwise of course, I lose motivation... but I see it as achievable, I'm getting better at it. my deadlifts, as I said in the other post are good and my squats are getting better :)
...And my attitude is good too...I got a compliment from my coach which meant the world to me that very day:
"Went through probably the hardest squat session of my life, thank you for inspiring me in the gym with your badass never give up attitude, that helped me push myself"
