Today I made my 2nd step. Stiff legs and tight hamstring ?
I jogged the same distance and made less walk sessions in between. Something went wrong with the Strava App, during the ‘run’ I push the finish bottom, although There Is No Finish Line ……

Today I made my first steps to improve my personal health. Just started with a small walk (jogging) And my upper legs feels sore (myalgia) already ? What will be bring the coming two days.
My idea is first to bring down my bodyweight (I think it is now approx. 125kg) to 110kg. This will help me to improve my personal health (read condition). When I realize this goal I hope I have the energy to add one or two other sports. Maybe I got the energy for some light weight training.
Coming Friday I will help Iris (aka Maybe / Batman) with here training towards the Western European Powerlifting Championships. In the first weekend of September Ricky and Claudia will come over to train at WimWam Gym 🙂 Looking forward to these training sessions ?
The last two weeks I didn’t posted any update. I did not train for the last 2 weeks and for the coming time I will not train at all. At this stage I take a step back from powerlifting because I believe this helps me to accept that my powerlifting career has come to an end. This is better for my brain / mind and this gives me energy to focus on other things 🙂 When I started my training, I will start up my blog again 😉
Till now. Thank you all very much for your support.
Lack of motivation stays and it is okay (told Judith my last night, thank you) As long as I don’t have a (new) goal I continue this way of training…. No hurry and take the time.

Normally during this time of year I’m training for the European Masters in July and I have than totally focus on my training. Now I’m not training for any up coming meet, it is hard to focus on my training. When you competiting for over 30 years, my goal(s) to train are set during the year. And at this stage I really don’t know…… 😀 Strange feeling….. See what it will bring in the future 🙂 So today I had an earlier low weight training (again). The temperature in the Netherlands are good (hot), so earlier work-outs are better to do than in the afternoon and/or evening in my opinion……
45 minutes…..

In the Netherlands it is summer time ? therefore I did some light assistance work today. Tomorrow morning I will do some squats, deadlifts and bench presses when the temperature is not that high yet ?
