Day 21 - Català

En primer lloc vull demanar disculpes als milers de seguidors del meu blog per no haver escrit res durant els últims dos entrenaments. La veritat és que entre la feina, estudiar i aquests entrenaments tan llargs no he tingut temps per penjar cap comentari. A més, no hi ha hagut massa res a comentar. Els entrenaments han seguit la tònica general de ser molt llargs i durs.
Pel què fa a l’entrenament d’avui es pot resumir amb dues lletres i una imatge. Són aquestes:

Avui he de reconèixer que desprès de 20 dies de lluitar i superar dificultats i entrebancs les adversitats i l’entrenament han pogut amb mi. El dia ha començat a les 7:30 del matí agafant el cotxe per anar a Barcelona on tenia un curs d’oposicions. A part d’aguantar 8 hores de teoria sobre la programació didàctica i les competències bàsiques de la Llei Orgànica d’Educació, quan ha arribat l’hora de dinar no he pogut menjar res! En el menú de la cafeteria no hi havia res sense gluten, làctics o que no estigués fregit per tant no he pogut dinar! Sort que portava unes figues seques en una bosseta.
Un cop s’ha acabat el curs tenia unes ganes boges de tornar cap a casa però l’univers s’ha confabulat contra mi una altra vegada i he quedat atrapat en un embús de trànsit a les rondes durant quasi una hora! Quan per fi he pogut arribar a casa ja eren cap a les 9 del vespre... Tot i això he reunit forces per canviar-me i anar a entrenar. Per variar l’entrenament era duret. S’ha de reconèixer que he fet tot el què he pogut però cap a la meitat de l’entreno no he pogut més... he començat a veure llumetes i fotogrames de la meva vida que passaven per davant dels meus ulls. En aquest moment he decidit que valia més plegar i anar a sopar per poder-me recuperar per l’entrenament del dia següent que és més llarg que la llista de la compra!

Avui aniré a dormir amb l’orgull ferit... espero recuperar-lo demà aixecant un bon grapat de quilos! :)

Day 21 - Muscle in a Month

Results are showing! So far a 2% drop in bodyfat and I am up a kg in weight. Did the math and came out with 2kg gain in muscle and 1kg loss in fat so far. Now I need to lower a bit the calories to lean out but the trainings make me so damn hungry! My biceps and triceps are getting enormous and I think pretty much the 2kg are all there, 1kg on each arm. :) All the clothes I bought over xmas in the states are baggy and I am no longer a medium in Nike pants. This is exciting but I bought 8 pairs of black workout pants to wear at the studio everyday.... Now they look like I'm wearing diapers! Well, thankfully today was 22 degrees and sunny and it's time to buy spring/summer gear anyway. :)

I liked today's workout. :) It was back, shoulders, and hamstring. Oh and core that I have yet to do and have to go back for tonight... I'm looking forward to this training to finish so I can go back to a resonable workout of less than an hour... These training are just way too long for my attention span.

Today I did awesome in pullups! Before today I could do 4-6 on the first set and then maybe 1 or 2 on the second set and then the rest of the sets were asisted from the get go. Today I did a set of 6, a set of 5, and set of 4, and a set of 3 all by myself! And I felt strong. It was way cool!

Straight legged deadlifts were great but then on the harrups my hams were dying a slow painful death... I really struggled on the 3rd and 4th sets and my calf even cramped in the middle of the last set. Then I forgot to bring a physioball (or really, I couldn't imagine carrying it across town) so I had to improvise for ham curls. I tried with the foam roller and it worked slightly with very short range of motion. Then I tried with big boy dumbbells. That worked pretty good until a big boy stole my dumbbells while I was doing pulldowns. The only hard part of "hanging on" to the dumbbells with my feet and toward the end my calves were on fire probably more than my hams. And I left the gym with soreness in a very strange spot on shin.
