Day 5 of BFL
I can truely say that today, I’ve got a few very sore muscles, but this is to be expected! Normally when I start training again after a long lay off, 5 months in this case, I still think that I can lift the same as 5 months ago. Today the legs are sore and calfs is very sore indeed.
The legs stiffness if from the running, which I’m totally not use to! My not a runner, but would rather do it in the fresh air, than do endless steps or something similar in the gym. the gym also has a running track, and I think I’ll try that next week, to see how that goes. It might just be better on the knees and the rest of the body as well.
A big suprise is that my triceps is very sore after Thursdays training. I tried a new machine at the gym, which I’ve never seen before, but I’m calling it the seated tricep extension machine. Looks similar to a bicep curl machine, but you extend your arms instead of curling them. Man does this work your lower triceps!!!
Yesterday, I could not even touch my face with my right hand, so stiff my arms were, but today is better.
During the week, there was some nagging thoughts, that will I make it, should I have a backup plan, but every eveing in the gym, I see the poster of last years winner of BFL, and I realize, that I might be in worse shape than he was when I started this week, but there is NOTHING stopping me, of looking similar or even better after 12 weeks! The only thing stopping me, would be me!
I think that on Monday, I got the best motivational quote and also on the right day : From McNab’s daily quotes
Only you can change your life. No one can do it for you.
Thats me for today
