Sunday was my squat day. It was also a day when I wanted to put time into recovery and relaxation. Because of this, I went to a beginner's yoga class from 11:00 AM to noon and then squatted after. The yoga class didn't tire me out for my lift, but I definitely felt that it would have been more advantageous to switch the order of these events, i.e., squat earlier in the morning and then attend yoga. Nonetheless, I still felt good during my lift and hit singles at 425. This is the most weight I have squatted without using a belt, something I decided to do at the beginning of the summer.
Monday morning I had a new member fitness orientation (NMFC), which is a free session given to new members. Basically, it is how we (the trainers) are supposed to get new clients. After this session I had my bench day, during which I hit singles at 295. I had a paid session that evening with my client from the previous week.
Tuesday morning I had another NMFC and then I did plyos after. After that I went to the sauna for a bit and came out feeling great. Plyos are going really well and I should have enough information by the end of the year to format the program the way I want to. After that I am planning on putting it up for sale in the store!
Wednesday was my deadlift day, and after my run-in the previous week with management, I decided that it would be best to wait until it was late at night to deadlift. I was packed with NMFC's all day and spent over twelve hours at the gym on Wednesday. My lift went really good though as I hit singles at 445 pulling sumo style.
Thursday was a more relaxed day for work than Wednesday, but I was still there eight hours. I decided to take this day off from working out so I could have a solid lift the next day.
Friday I had an NMFC in the morning and then I lifted after that. Then I got a free 60 minute massage from one of the therapists at FFC in exchange for a free training session in the upcoming week. After that I sat in the steam room and left work very relaxed.
Friday evening I received a call from my supervisor asking if I could be the FFC rep on a Kenmore cooking show that evening with Whole Foods. I jumped at the opportunity and made the 20-minute walk over to the studio, arriving right before filming began. The show went well and it was a lot of fun being on camera and answering people's questions.
Saturday morning I was once again the FFC rep, this time at City Chase Chicago, presented by T-Mobile. I was there for almost four hours and passed out all of my business cards, so I am hoping that those will turn into clients. After all of that I needed to unwind for a bit so in the afternoon I went for a 20-minute run along Lake Michigan.
Well that's all for this past week. Now it's time to go live this one.
