Well today was officially my first day of the Guinea Pig training program.
As you already know we’re not permitted to go into the specifics of it so I’ll just speak generally about what I’m doing and my perspective on it all. Firstly I have to say that I’m glad I had started out doing his Maximum Strength training program first because it’s helped, a lot! I have a much better understand and appreciation of how he operates and the way he likes to do things. It’s made the transition into this training program that little bit easier so that’s all good.
I’m definitely a fan of his work and more so now than ever before. I physically have noticed the difference. My range of movement has increased by leaps and bounds, I have more flexibility then previously and my overall strength just keeps on getting better and better. I’m a hell of a lot more stronger and with that comes more confidence across the board with all my training. Just when I think it can’t possibly get any better, it does. I’m so passionate about my training and even more so for my results. What I’m doing is definitely working for me I believe and hopefully the Bodpod will confirm this at the end of the four months. Only time will tell I guess.
The greatest thing about this whole online experience are the video demonstrations. Being able to see Eric Cressey demonstrate every single thing just reassures what I’m doing and re-inforces good form and technique. So although he’s not physically here, it’s the next best thing to it.
I found today that this program makes me think about what it is that I’m doing. There’s no time to zone out whilst going through the motions otherwise I’d risk injury. Also what I thought was going to be easy was anything but, never again will I underestimate how an exercise looks on paper. Lets just say that my core was whipped into shape today and I’m feeling it now.
So overall I’m happy, really happy with it. Getting up and hitting the gym at 0530h each morning isn’t a problem for me anymore, I’m thoroughly enjoying myself. And loving the results even more.
I’ll be updating my blog weekly with how I’m travelling on the training front on Monday’s. Train smart, not hard.
