Monday Gym

Is Monday a good day to go to gym? If gym is a remedy for Monday blues for you, then it certainly is a very good idea. For me, my Monday gym schedule is the most "hardcore" of the week. Having said that, it's only just 2 back to back classes - unlike those days, I do over 3 or 4 classes in 2 different clubs in the same day.

Anyways, another reason for me to have a heavier Monday gym routine is the class timetable. Due to work hours, I couldn't really plan in double classes unless I join the latest class. But can't be sleeping so late everyday. In short, Monday's timetable at TC is most ideal for me, combat follow by pump.

Monday combat at TC had lately been replaced by The Bear (so I quote Carebear on her nickname) until last night. And since a few weeks ago, this class was shadowed by a new combat-instructor-in-making, can I nick her "FeeBee"? Or Carebear can donate a nickname for me here. Anyways, those few weeks of classes were great and I'm sure FeeBee will clear for her instructor-ship very soon - she told me next year, but I thought she would surely be able to make it earlier if she wants to.

So last night was back to Master C and hence reminded me of the "test your memory on doing your own choreo" and "I'll tell you to go right when you should go left" teaching method. I have not been feeling well these few weeks, but since KG was in the class, I was really motivated to stay till the end. ;)

And as for pump, would you be surprised if I told you it was tough? Haha...

Carebear's pump classes are renown for its toughness actually. You want to be tortured, join her pump class. And about the members requested tracks? Equally tough, geezzz... you guys, what's with the selections? Okay, I also want to request lah like this.

Last night's partial-partial biceps curl track actually reminded us of "Car Wash", what's the name of that track actually? I'm really bad with songs, therefore won't be able to join in with the fun of requesting tracks. If I start requesting, it would be so limited to that few tracks that I know, which is super favorite. Like Pump It for biceps. And Shake Your Tail Feather for abs. Summer Rain is actually one of my favorites, it's tough but good. I think this is actually an all time favorite chest track for a lot of instructors. I love all the tracks last night overall. (Even though I did really really really feel like throwing up!)

And of course I'm in pain now! Talking of pain, I thought the massage actually helped but there's a nagging pain on my shoulder, near to the left chest area when doing triceps push up. Strange.

Not supposed to be blogging at this time of the day. Back to work!

Hmm.. lower back.. hmm.. i need to have better instruction on this..

Anyways, can i request for phantom track? Not sure what this is.. but TTB said if i join Carebear's pump she will request this track. I wonder whether i should be scared?!?!

Well.. Monday is definately a "VERY DIFFICULT TO GO TO GYM" day.. every Monday morning i vow to go to the gym that evening but.. heh... never happened. Usually Monday i have a dose of unreasonable boss asking for too much... so at the end of the day my energy is all drained...................... ok.. these are all excuses.. i am just being lazy and recouping from weekend late nigths. HA HA HA HA

Actually lower back can be sore if I carry heavy for squat (15kg). Nowdays I rarely do that, max 13.5kg. Sore is ok but not when it stiffens and spasms, have cure for that, massage and muscle relaxant.

As for back track (track 4) I never go beyond 8.5kg because when I carried 10kg once, I sprained my back. Now soreback not broke back!
