I went in today mainly to help 4Board with his shirt. I felt ok after the meet yesterday, but after dinner and by the time I got home I felt kind of crappy. I attribute this to the brutally hot/ humid conditions at the meet. It just drained me. When I got up today, I felt better, just tired (like after a long trip). So I decided to take it easy training.
Pseudosuperficial warm-up (i.e. not much of anything)
DB floor press: 3x20/ 50, 70, 90
Skull crushers: 3x15/ 70, 90, 110
Side raises: 3x10/ 25, 35, 40
Face pulls: 3x15-20/ 70, 90, 110
Pulldowns: 3x8/ 150, 170, 190
Preacher curls w/ barbell: 3x12-15/ 55, 65, 75
Overhead crunches (on cybex): 3x20/ #10
This session went very quick and I felt better physically and mentally after. Driving into the gym this morning feeling tired, etcetera I said to myself, "Self, why do you do this?" Once I got there, after training a client, myself and helping 4 out, I realized I knew the answer all along. It's because this is where my passion lies. It, the training, is what I love to do. I love the end effect; strength and all its byproducts. The journey of being strong. Now, even more, I enjoy helping others as I have been helped. To be able to adapt one's training towards tangible results; whether upon the athletic field or court or in daily life, what awesome experience (and responsibility). It has been the single constant thing in my life that I have always been able to fall back upon. And I am greatful that I have found such a pursuit in my life from which I derive so much pleasure.
Enough of the sentimental stuff.
