I went to uni tonight to meet with my skills coach. We went through my own programme and had a chat about it. He liked the simplicity, the fact that every exercise prescribed relates to my goals and specific training areas, and the way it was written. Well done Mr PT!
My skills coach did question one of the squats exercises (with dumbbells, squat into standing bicep curl into standing shoulder press) as apparently it’s quite advanced and tricky, but when I explained that I can do them and do them well, and that the only problem I have with the exercise is a mental one, he got the picture.
Basically, I’ve spent seven years telling myself I can’t do squats or lunges. For one year out of that seven, I had surgeons and physiotherapists telling me not to do them. So, after seven years of reinforcement, my brain says no when my body says yes. It’s just a matter of conditioning my nervous system and it will take a bit of time. Maybe a format and rebuild of my hard drive would help?
Bring on training tomorrow, I know I will be thrashed but I need it
