Initially I brushed it off,
But then I thought: What's to loose?
I changed to 4 exercises each session, 4 sets each.
I started having sore muscles the next day.
»That's correct« said Giorgio »only when the muscles are hurt they start to grow«
To tell me anytime he saw me doing an exercise wrong.
This was hard on my ego - but I wanted my time investments to show off.
I also felt that I would only keep going if I saw some progress.
At the beginning I could only do 2 pull ups.
6 months later I was at 10 pull ups.
The smile I had on my face when I achieved the 10 pull ups! 🤗
I never could get my weight above 70kg.
End of year I weighed 74kg.
That means 4kg in muscle weight.
And I think it starts to show.
Not much, but my wife noticed
I leave my mobile in the locker. For the next hour,
all my concentration goes into the exercises,
This quenches all my sorrows,
And pauses unfinished thoughts
(something I never achieved when going for a walk)
Yesterday I tried squats and deadlifts for the first time.
All in all this was my surprise of 2024.
I could never ever imagine myself enjoying going to gym so much.🏋️
