Drunk fitness

Today's title is drunk fitness, why? Anyone who has done a killer leg workout will probably know what I am talking about. At various points of the circuit you are finding you feel like your waddling around barely holding yourself up, as I was walking to get some more water I thought of this title haha! That was today's session. I started with abs which I was somewhat aware of the process, although it still gave me a hard time, not as much as before as the motor units in my muscle have probably began to learn the movements. One thing I did quickly learn is that all those days of neglecting my quads was going to show today. Going through a body weight exercise with Paul that targeted the hamstrings, revealed a deep weakness, I hate legs already and I could barely do a single rep with proper form, I could hear Paul egging me on to extend right out and contract right back, and I couldn't help but laugh through the pain as I really did try but for the life of me I couldn't do it. I ended up going through it half ass as I was clearly instructed not to do, but there was just no way I was going to pull off the move perfectly. I carried on to the next workout, again everything required perfect form.

I was always a gym enthusiast just like most people who would stack on massive amounts of weight, and be like "Yeah, I can do that much" and left form out of it. Today as I was pushing out the reps I realized its not about the amount of weight and I've read other body builders use lower weights but absolute perfect form. I now get it, Paul can make the smallest amount of weight feel like your repping out 1000000lbs. haha! talk about getting the most out of your workouts.

I used to think to myself that if you know how to do it why would you need a trainer? Fact is accountability, and especially in fitness half the time you think you know what your doing but your not even close, pro body builders have trainers, and so does Olympic athletes. I want that next level, and can't wait for the next session.

Todays stack pre workout was: Opus, pre-pump, a-bomb, and a creatine cap (These stacks don't help with Pauls workouts haha! but I can probably say I would not make it through his workouts without it.)

Intra-workout supplements: Size-on (Creatine based intra-workout)

Post workout: Whey,Casein, Greens, Omegas, Green tea (Recovery, muscle protection and nutrient replenishing)

The process this time as opposed to when I first started in December of 2010 is much easier due to the fact that I stopped smoking, stopped drinking when I chose fitness as a lifestyle. I am doing my minimum of 6 meals which I have done in the past, I still fight cravings but I'm become accustomed to saying no to those as well. The training is an entirely new level of fitness that I would have never discovered on my own, and I know the price and sacrifices will need to be paid up front just as any opportunity or any objective worthwhile to attain.

Stay tuned and I'll be posting photos of the process very soon. Have a wonderful day and live fit!
