At this stage I’m still continue my light training due lack of energy and concentration bow. Nevertheless my body handle very easily the weights. Body is stronger at this stage 🙂 Friday I will do some heavier weights just to motivate myself (a kick under my ass….. yes yes my old strategy 🙁 )

Due lack of energy and concentration bow I did only light weight assistance exercises today. It is hard to get focus at this point. The feeling I’m at an cleavage and I don’t like that. This generates an dilemma and that means you got two options and two options ain’t generates choices. Choice began when you have three options (in my opinion) At this stage I give myself the time and continue this way of training, even I need more time after this week. Big learning point at this stage is, it thanks (needs) time 🙂

Continue this week and next week light training. Yesterday I had my first EMDR therapy (it was confrontational and confusing) Old strategies are no longer working and / or less effective. Working on new strategies, so I took a few steps back (backwards) Maybe that’s just a step forward.
Today I did only some bench press (variation):
Bench press 2×8 20kg 2×8 50kg
Wobbly bench press 5x 70kg (50kg + 10kg dumbells)
Wobbly bench press 5x 90kg (50kg + 20kg dumbells)
Wobbly bench press 5x 110kg (70kg + 20kg dumbells)
Wobbly bench press 2x 125kg (70kg + 20kg dumbells + at least 7,5kg chains)
Bench press 3x120kg
In the last days I feel exhausted and then mostly in my head. This made me more rest. Yesterday, I skipped my training. Today, I also had little sense and to stimulate myself I did a variation on squats. Therefore, it was important to concentrate during the exercise. After that I did some deadlifts and to show myself that my body is stronger than my mind these days I did 200kg deadlift for reps, after I did some sets 🙂
