Let’s talk about inspiration ………. It is nice to be surrounded by people who inspire you. Last week Iris, Ilrish, Sandra & Joost came over to train at my homegym. Joost posted a new instagram post (click here) During the training I suggested him “pratices what you preach”, because he is training Sandra now. In my daily work I told my colleagues the same and doing it by myself. When I was powerlift trainer/coach (in the past) I trained the same way I preach. This helped me to stay focus, gave my structure and generate the needed discpline which is required in my sport, work and personal life.

The last 5 months I didn’t train, due mine recovery and what I tried I couldn’t handle more work and need some rest moments during the day. This is what I have to cope with. Iris asked me: So you will wait to  do something till you have be at the neurologist (January 2018, due waiting list)…… That is a question that I could ask to somebody else 😀

I know I have the restrictions in my brain/mind/head and yes I’m afraid and this was the question I needed to get back in light training again this week. So it is nice to get inspired by  the people surround you. Thank you all 😀

Personal instagram post:

5 month ago I stopped training. At that stage I couldn’t handle the problems I got after my operation. At this stage I still suffer from restrictions in my head. My mind isn’t able to handle the same I did before I became ill. Nevertheless I took several different paths to figure out if it will become better. At this stage it is not making a difference which path I take, therefor I hope the neurologist can help me, only I had to wait till next year 🙁 Iris and Ilrish confront me yesterday with the question: So you will wait till then and you won’t do anything health/fitness? ……….. Although I have to wait it is time to do something for my health/fitness……even it is only a little bit… The last two days I was to stiff to show the athletes what I mean which technical improvement I saw and told to them….. The coming weeks will be tough due the sore muscles (myalgia) and it started today. I started with some warm up excersises followed by 5×8 20kg squat, 5×5 50kg conventional deadlift en 5×8 20kg bench press….. See how my body will respond on that tomorrow and the days which followed…… the coming weeks I started to do at least 3 light training session…… Today was number 1…..
