Is he there for all of your workouts? How does the whole trainer things work? I’ve only actually seen the one at my gym and they seem to be more like large expensive counters and timers. What’s an actual trainer like?

No,I only train with him once a week and on that day we do alot of non-traditional stuff. Most of the time he comes up with them and sometimes I’ll put in a request for something I’m not sure of. I know the expensive counters and timers you’re talking about…those are great for beginners 
Still haven’t gotten into the hang of my new program. I got off work so late that I decided to just hit the eliptical for 30 minutes. It was better than nothing. I wasn’t about to start to figuring out plate pushes in the gym at that very late hour.
what is you rnew program like? yeah…tyring to do plate pushes around in a busy gym would irritate the crap outta me… especialy if there are weirdo guys there like before
My new program is TBT and very metabolic which is just what I need because I’m starting to feel like a lard ass.
How’s your training going?

I was gonna run sprints this morning but they hadn’t opened to gate to the upper field where the running track is. I’m debating going later on today but I am kind of tired. During the week, things get so hectic, I rarely get a chance to sprint. We’ll see how this week goes.
gvt’s over for me–but i shall return in a while to do it another cycle. i noticed some nice gains
but i got bit by dog last Sunday and my left arm was pretty shot for a few days! hopefully this next week i’ll be 100%

Thanks, OG. I’m learning to love planks. I used to when I was kickboxing because they were a staple, now…not so much.
Thanks for stopping by.

Holy crap! I’d probably be traumatized for a while and not show up for work at least for a couple of days. i got bitten by a dog in the 6th grade and that did it for me with dogs. I love 'em from a distance.
Today’s workout:
Ok, in my defense, my gym has no aerobics room and they have those weird rubber floors, so I can’t do plate pushes. So instead I jumped rope for 12 minutes, KB swings (tabata 4 minutes). I did some swiss ball crunches, V-up complexes and reverse crunches.
jump rope is hard! way to go! now i wanna double dutch

Double dutch is fun!! I love jumping rope! They made us do it every day when I was starting out in Muay Thai, now it’s just second nature.
