Okay mutants, whelps and flatbacks, I know you have all missed me, but there has been some stuff going on in the real world that needed to get taken care of, but it also means that there has been some progress!
Firstly, my beloved call centre job has been taken over by another department, which if anyone who is reading this knows, I am not in anyway shape or form upset about this. I honestly do feel sad about it in a way, and that is because a lot of people brought into the story that there would be enough jobs from other campaigns to employ all the staff available. Rule number one whelps, when someone says they will give you a job within the company, ESPECIALLY a call centre environment, that is the best indicator to start looking elswhere. Other than my friends who have not started to look or already have received something, I am not going to miss that place one bit.
Secondly, and this is the best bit, I have achieved the goal of getting my personal training career started. I have been accepted on a level 2 personal training course, which nicely enough, I don't have to pay for. The only downside, is I need to get the ball rolling for benefits, which is my goal tomorrow night. Or find a wealthy patron or put myself up for hire for something or another.
Finally, fitnessy stuff. Yup, the tofu in the vegan friendly sandwich of this blog. I have been having a chat with one of the flatback trainers at the gym, and was reminded of a bunch of variations that I could be doing for workouts. Now due to that thing called "a dicky rotator cuff" and heavy weights being a bit off limits, I have changed a goal post or two. What I have done, is set myself workout challenges. For Legs, my challenge is around 300 - 360 rep workouts, because they can still get a bit of weight and it feels like a workout. What I am doing with this, is using different exercises, in 10 rep blocks and on either 2-3 sets per exercise. Upper body/core on the other hand, was originally a 380 - 460 rep workout, but in my last two upper body sessions, I have pushed it to 500 and 501 (today, just because I wanted to :P) reps. If you are looking for a session, that makes you feel the burn of the flatback's mass weight workout, without the shoulders flailing around like an almost severed noodle, then hi rep workout with as much variation as you can muster, is definitely a good way to start.
Well my dearest reader(s), enjoy your workouts, live long, and eat healthy, which kinda leads to the live long bit..
