Becomming A Fitness Competitor

The most humiliating thing happen to me yesterday. I did legs yesterday so I wore baggy pants . The gym was packed, every one wants to look good for the holiday.

I don’t feel comfortable wearing tight pants while I squat: half the gym is always staring at my butt. It’s huge, hard to miss. These pants are like two sizes bigger.  I went to the ladies room before doing my HITT routine on the treadmill. I always tie the knot a little bit tighter because I don’t like showing my panty line. It’s so tacky.

 
As I was sprinting I felt a cold breeze on my lower back/ butt area. I grabbed my pants just in time. Not only I was showing my panty line but half my butt. And I was wearing a very very old-torn-colourless-no elasticity string so anyone had a pretty good view. Not that my humilation would’ve been less if I was wearing lace panties. I felt like I could DIE. If only the earth could’ve split and drag me in!!
I just pulled my pants up, made a DOUBLE knot and continued doing my workout… like nothing happened. Fortunately no one said anything about it. I just hope no one saw anything….

I work out with this guy at the gym every now and then. He suggested a different way of training. Very light weight and lots of repetitions (failure) with high intensity. At first I was a little sceptical. I want to lose weight (body fat) and gain muscle definition. I know that because of the intensity you burn more calories and there for more fat. But what is it going to do for my muscle definition?  It takes a lot for a person to convince me, especially if you’re not a certified trainer. But he looks good, and for what he has told me… all natural… of course.
 
So I worked out the way he said and I did legs yesterday.… OMG!!! I’m sore everywhere. I have sore muscles that I didn’t even think I had to begin with. For example: Squats on the smith, 10 kg approx. 22lbs. (I usually do 20 kg 4 sets of 10-12 reps.) All the way down, over 90 degrees and half way up. I did 4 sets of 30-40 reps.
 
Jumping side squats on a platform, legpress, seated leg extension, seated leg curl, leg press and lying leg curl.
 
I have shoulders & traps today. I’m already freaking out. LOL Shoulder-workout is my least favorite workout, but the one I do most because I want to have beautiful strong shoulders.
