2015 is my year of the stack. For those who do not get the slang, it is the year where I save up hard. Is there anything in particular I am saving up for? Yup, quite a few things but that's a need to know basis.
The gym however is exceptionally hard when it is freezing here in good ol' London town. As we have been getting temperatures of 0°C maybe even sub-zero you can imagine how difficult it is to motivate oneself. Nevertheless it has to be done! As I got into the gym yesterday I knew it was going to be tough, but determination plus a deadline prevailed. As my March ski trip approaches, the ankle knows it must be strong and tough ready to battle snowboarding once again. So I need the squats and a full leg day incorporating some back workouts as well.
How did I feel during and after?
My legs started strong and tough like a tree trunk. That wasn't the case after the hour and half session; the jelly flex kicked in and the legs were all over the place. A real struggle might I add. After all the squat variations, lateral steps, deadlifts, carve-raises, leg extensions, back flies... I'm sure there's more... I stumbled my way to the changing room where sitting down for 5 minutes could have been the worst decision I made that day. I literally limped out of the gym afterwards.
Today is the day after and I can tell you with real confidence; no pain no gain... and I need my GAINS.
