unfortunately i have to come to terms with how bad my groin injury actually is. I will be a number of months before I am back lifting heavy weights. It has taken quite some time and very very boring stretching, core and foofoo bollox exercise to get me there and it appears it will take quite a lot more of this time. Last week i squatted the empty bar which was pretty exciting yes that is very sad. This week i am going to progress to 40kg in a squat which i cant wait for. I have to accept that attempting max snatches and clean and jerks are a long way away.
during this injury i have been doing a lot of thinking and actually some college work for a change and i Have come to the realisation that weightlifting is what i want to do. I always thought i would be happy weightlifting for a few more years and then return to the hurling or rugby pitch but alas i dont think that is going to happen. Weightlifting is what i enjoy the most and is what i want to stick at.
I cant wait to get back training properly and when i do I am going to train myself into the ground and work harder than ever before in the gym weightlifting and doing all that foofoo garbage. I will be 100% anal about my diet my recovery everything when i get the chance to get back lifting there will be no holding me back. I have come nowhere near accomplishing what i want to in the sport of weightlifting and I am not giving up yet. Whatever i achieve will be nothing in comparison to the best irish lifts ever and certainly not internationally but I have numbers in my head that i want to lift and i will keep going til i hit those numbers. I have numbers in my head that I want to do but when i write them down and look at them i think fuck it sure why not aim for more. I will not set a target total like i have beeing doing for too long I will get strong and train my balls off and lift whatever i can and that will be my maximum.
So thats the future so what about the present I need something to train for the next 8 weeks while I am getting myself back together readying myself to make shit of myself in pursuit of some bigger numbers.
Cardio ?
Upper body strength training ?
An inordinated amount of foo foo core garbage ?
I need a goal to train for for the next 8 weeks I cant simply just train for the sake of it I need something to aim for to motivate me and prevent me from being a mess. What will I train for help me ???
Bench comp in 8 weeks, i won't bench between now and then, Wilks calculator to decide the winner, you can use the womans formula.
