Yesterday was the final workout where my trainer assessed my form while doing exercises, as well as, how much weight will be needed for each exercise at the start of my program. I did arms, chest and shoulders as my workout and we determined that my shoulders are my weakest body part. That means I will have to work twice as hard to build them up. Andrew is going to make me do 2 days of shoulders so that they can catch up with the rests of my muscles as they grow. Also, having weak shoulders somewhat screws up Andrew's method of not so much going by muscle measurements, but on proportions of the body. He likes to go with a shoulder to waist ratio to get a good shape to the upper body and give that V shape to the torso. As I have told him this whole time...I will do whatever it takes to get this goal accomplished.
I have also noticed a marked improvement in posture lately. I tend to notice more when I am slouching as it is now pulling on sore muscles when I do. If I stand up straighter and push my shoulder blades together, it really does make everything feel better, as well as, pull my hips up instead of them sagging forward. It is all going to plan and now that the training assessments are over, I can get down to a definite schedule of 3 days a week for the first couple weeks and then upping it to 4 times a week. Tonight I have to go get my finalized nutrition plan. I am excited and scared to see what they are going to make me eat and how much.
This whole process has been very educational and quite exciting. I have to give a shout out to all the people at Extreme Fitness that have been helping me so far, especially Andrew, they have been amazing. A thank you to Ryan, the fitness center manager, who worked with me to get a plan I could afford and has been very accomodating and helpful so far. I hope to become a great success story for them.
