STATEMENTS FROM MY PERSONAL TRAINER CRISTA ON MY PROGRESS TRAINING SO FAR.

On June 8, 2011, Dave and I started our personal training regimen today and got to know a little more about what he wants out of his sessions. He wants to put on a little more size and increase his strength to work with his own training in kick boxing. He tried out 21’s and negatives on June10 and found it to “burn”, which is a good thing for what he wants to get out of his training. June 15 he was unable to do upright rows due to a past injury and aggravating the injury again on June 10. He was unable to do side raises as well without a proper warm up. June 16 he wasn’t in class because of a Dr.appointment to try to fix an infected tooth which he thought also made an ear infection to top things off. On Fri. June 20 he went to hospital in the evening and talked to a Dr. and surgeon about his elbow injury he obtained while sparring with his friend J.W. at the gym on June 20. There were no major injuries that required any special attention at this time. June 22 His shoulder issues weren’t apparent today and once again he said that he hated me loved to hate the workout). June 24. His shoulders were tight so we switched our workout to do leg’s and biceps instead of shoulders and back. Rob recommended that I start doing some hypertrophy exercises with Dave so his muscles don’t start moving slower  with his kick boxing competitions coming up. Some examples of this are: bench presses w/ clapping push-ups, close grip pull downs w/ pull-ups with fast let goes, standing calf raises w/ lunges, e.z. bar preachers w/ external rotator side(90’ arms out) w/ light weight.

                                                                                                 

July 6, 2011-We started his new program today.8, 8, failure.  He had a really hard time going from hacks to lunges, saying that his knees hurt. We dropped the weight on the lunges. They worked well.  He had a hard time walking after doing them. Doing his bench press he was doing a bit of a narrow grip and his tricep’s hurt a bit after doing them. The tri’s were over worked. He kept repeating throughout the program” there is still more?” He also “stopped “ drinking sugary drinks today.  July 8.His legs were still too sore so we didn’t do his scheduled leg curls. July 11. I increased the weights in his exercises. Some without him knowing that I did.
