Week Five is here! Tomorrow begins a new week of new gains and I'm completely excited about it!!! This will be a week of personal record breakers if it goes the way I visualize it going. I will be in the city for each session with D.F.C. which means I WILL hit those numbers. I will also make every effort to get some really good footage as I am not the only one in the camp breaking personal records. It's really exciting to see and experience everyone's progress. We all take pleasure in seeing each other get better. Yes there is a lot of ishT talk, but it's all in fun. When one of us succeeds we all succeed. It truly is a BEAUTUFUL thing.
I've had a few days to rest up my legs and today they feel brand new! I saw my PCP on Friday morning because I was experiencing IT band discomfort that I could not alleviate with mysofacial release. He told me that I probably couldn't release the muscle due to the IT band being inflamed. Then he asked me, "what do you think I'm going to give you for that, take a guess." I responded "prednisone." I was correct. Whenever I have any type of issue be it sinus, muscle, headache, or whatever... He gives me prednisone. LOL! It does work!
Most don't know this, but in 2000 I received my Personal Training Certification but allowed it to lapse and therefore I am preparing to take the certification test again on April 6th. I've been studying for it off an on over the last few days but from today until April 6th, I will be making it a priority. This time around I am planning to put it to much greater use than before. :-) I will probably add a specialty or two as well but in due time. Right now, I just need to focus on passing the exam.
Yesterday, I was going to write about the day 3 experience I had in the gym without D.F.C. present. However, I have decided not to because it would be a negative rant, and I refuse to get lost in that. What I will say is this; there are individuals out there that want to take your shine and who will make attempts to destroy what you have earned, only because they didn't play a role in it or because they themselves are unable to achieve what you have or are capable of achieving. Whatever you do, DO NOT allow these types of individuals to impact your focus or drive. Take what they are giving and focus and drive even harder! Now, here are the positives from yesterday's WORK!!!
My bench press is really improving. I was able to bench 140lbs 1-2 times each set. That may seem like nothing to most but it means a whole lot to me, as the bench has by far been my weakest link in the gym; but getting better. Anyways... for the last two weeks, D.F.C. has utilized day 3 as a hybrid day which has worked out great (due to my IT band messing up). I think we are going to resume our regular program this upcoming week though, which I love due to the gains I am seeing. We have 4 more weeks of this program and I'm really excited to see how much each of us has improved.
Well, that's my time folks! I'm trying to brainstorm an idea that I think would be beneficial to not only my crew, but to anyone that has interests in sports and fitness. Again, I will keep you posted. Until next time, practice peace in all situations no matter what. This will place you in a unique position. A position in which others will look up to you. A position that will give you inner peace. The position of being on the best side there is; the side of RIGHT. Believe that.
