It’s been a while since I posted about my younger brother’s death. But, today I think that it’s not good idea to stop living because someone, so close, died . There are so many reasons to be happy anyway. I’ve still got my wife and my children, whom I love so much. In the meantime we’ve traveled to Spain. It was a wonderful trip to the Costa Blanca. We stayed at a hotel in the city of Lloret de Mar. We hired a car...

I had to do something with this. Because, until today I didn’t know how to express myself about what happened. You know, my youngest brother 39 years old had a cardiac arrest, totally unexpected. It sounds hard and it is, but in a way I don’t feel like crying. I don’t feel I want to mourn neither. It was a while ago since I saw my brother and everytime we saw each other we got along very well. Only, the last few years...

Today I had a good training. I started slowly to run at a good pace during 16’49″ I think it was about 4km or a bit less. Then I started doing my other disciplines: sit-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, shoulder lifts for the lower back. So, here are my results: 1. Running: 16’49″ = ~4km 2. Push-ups: 100 3. Sit-ups: 110 4. Pull-ups: 9 5. Shoulder lifts: 40 So I am pretty satisfied. I will still wait to start doing the exercise at...

Yesterday I went for a higher number of reps in my sets of disciplines. But, I grouped them in sets of 20 or 30 reps. For instance, the push-ups I did in groups of 20 push-ups per set. And I did 4 sets. Meaning 80 push-ups in total. I did the same for sit-ups in sets. But the first few sets I did as many as I could before I felt the fatigue in my upper legs. I did 35+25+20+20+20= 120 sit-ups So, my workout looked like this: 1. Push-ups: 80 2....

Today, after  working a weekend I’ve kept it easy for me. I take it as it comes, but at least I’m doing something. So, what’s it for today: 1. Running 15′ at a slow tempo 2. 60 sit-ups 3. 35 push-ups 4. 7 pull-ups I know it’s not what I’m used to lately, but I take it easy, because I want to persevere for better results in the long run. And I know those figures will increase, only when I don’t rush into...

Today I’m reporting training for physical workout, because from experience I now know that it’s not a good idea to start working out without warm-up. That is, a total warm-up before starting to perform on contest level. What I’ve done so far is trying to do the max amount of reps on every discipline. The least amount of time on running. I’m going to change that by training in between and preparing my body for max...

I’ve been experiencing bad luck lately. First my back pains and now I suffer from the flu. Monday I woke up with back pain, headache and a severe cold. I thought I was going to die. But, it didn’t come that far. I’m recovering slowly but surely. And I sure hope that after all that physical misery I will finally be able to start working out again. I’ve already had 14 sessions with a physiotherapist to cure my back. And I...
