Good training today! Good day today as a whole. I got offered a pretty good job teaching a few classes in preventive back and neck training AND fitness boxing! For now it's just while the regular instructor is on holiday for 2 months. But it's great experience for me AND I'm broke as broke can be and need the cash. It's only a few times a week so shouldn't interfere with my studies! Anyway!

Yes, FINALLY hit that squat PR. I've been neglecting squats a bit because it's a hard exercise for me, but I've tried putting a little more into it the last few weeks and it has paid off! The depth was good, better than the previous 132kg pr, so that is another good thing. I'm a lot more stable as well! Was pretty tired already at this point haha.

Decent training today.

I went with my mom and helped her out with some exercises. I already made her program and it's just so great to see that she is actually enjoying it and getting stronger, and having less pain. It really worked well!

I did some exercises with her in preperation for my new part time job coaching a class of people with back and neck weakness/issues.

I had her DL today too haha, and she actually did pretty well! If I can help her in any way, I will.

As for my own training today :)

A lot of shoulder band work (really enjoying that, my shoulders are getting healthier)
Light stretching of my lower body.
 
Looks pretty good @Seano
Thanks my man. I'm slowly getting stronger. Realised I need to be consistent, do it right and don't stress so much about it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Edit: Woops Seano will probably be stopping by now too haha.
 
That's awesome that you got your mom lifting. I wish I could do the same for mine, she gets back problems and while I'm not expert, I'm sure some basic weight training would help alleviate some of the strain.

Nice work too.

You guys said my name 3 times, so I appear. Like Candyman.

Yeah it really is. She's helped me out with a lot of shit so it's nice finally knowing enough so I can at least safely get her moving about. Small steps.

My mom has never done any kind of fitness in her life, and she's surprised that she likes it. Actually what brought it on was her being diagnosed with stress and risk of metabolic syndrome(you know, high cholesteral, blood pressure and so forth) so i suggested it. Sorting out a few personal things and going regularly has really helped. Maybe you could try introducing your mom slowly to the idea as well? Basic cardio/strenght training perhaps at first? Beware of back problems, they are very individual and hard to deal with. Feedback is important.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by! How are you btw? Feeling less wired and more calm?

Yeah I probably wouldn't even teach her free weights, not at first anyway. Maybe focus on some leg dominant machines, build up the posterior chain especially. Definitely wouldn't be pushing her to do anything too crazy. I'm not smart enough.

I'm good thanks man. I've definitely calmed down, but I think that has a lot to do with being unable to focus completely on training recently. I've been able to maintain a level of strength, except my squat which is feeling weak. Now I want to start building again.

That's exactly what I did. Started her with some rowing, some biking, seated leg press machine, pulldowns and seated leg curl machine. Everything extremely light to begin with, and with good form. She has exceptionally bad knees and can't even do a BW squat, but it's definitely getting better. Fun to see her DL today.

Good to hear man! Overtraining/overstressing is never beneficial and it makes you weaker. I know this because I've struggled with it. Sometimes you need to tone it down, but biggest thing is the mindset. Don't stress/worry about it and don't be too obsessive about it. Remember to have fun with it and sprinkle in some more loose sessions sometimes.Oh and value the progress you are making.

Hope everything is well and have a nice day my man!
