Challenge Completed - Arms and Shoulders Day 700 reps on November 9
A bit of a delayed post from my training last night, spent all day looking at houses and now I'm officially buggered and my bum is sore from riding around all day.
It is seriously so exhausting looking for houses, especially when I have to travel to the other side of the city.
Anyway last night was a fairly easy session, I really didn't want to over do it in the gym as I knew I would have a really busy day today.
I have to admit I have lost that connection with the weights again. I'm trying to do my reps but the enthusiasm really isn't there like it normally is. I'm really not sure whats going on but I think because I'm looking for a house to buy my mind is always pre occupied.
It's hard to focus on my training and I find when I do train I'm thinking about houses and areas and what will be the best fit for me.
I think I'm going to have to start watching the strong man comps again for a little bit more of a kick, I find when I watch those comps they really do help to motivate me.
After watching a comp I'm so amped up to lift heavy weights.
After watching the Ronnie Coleman documentary though and seeing what has happened to him I think I will be setting a limit to how heavy I lift. I sure won't be squatting 300 kgs like he way lol.
Body weight 127 kgs

They say a change is as good as a holiday, sometimes if a routine gets to be a mental drag a new routine can get the motivation levels back up, especially at times in your life when you have other important stuff going on. Sometimes the old routine just isn't suitable anymore.
I've been training for over thirty years and my routine hasn't stayed fixed for much longer than 12-18 months max. It can be mentally challenging to change a program that you feel has worked well ( a bit like breaking up with a long standing girlfriend) but you get over it quite fast when you realise the new one is good in a different way.
Yeah that is a good point, will give it a few more days and see what happens.
