Last time that I got brutally attacked on a training session, I was with Jannika (from FightYourFight) and Fredrik (from reFORM) and my Talangjakten crew. We all trained legs that day. It was so brutal I had to write about it… Y'all remembered right? Sorry. It's just I'm not use to SUCH training! Lol! I'm learning here. It's just been a year so far into this fitness life. But anyways, yesterday we turned course. This time to glutes with Personal Trainer Elizabeth Ivars from Ironsports Gym!
So here's a funny thing. When I first arrived to Sweden, I always seen a trainer @ Ironsports Gym working her clients in such fierce way. She looked very determined and evil look. Lol! The way she would looked at her clients as she trained them was as if she was morphed into their veins and she could feel their blood flow. Yea. She's very deep. I always said to myself, "God forbid the day I have her train me." Then after a couple of hi's, where are you from, conversations we became FB buddies. And then I started seeing picture posts, you know the ones we post about our daily activity and what not, and every time she'd post a picture with her client, they were kinda always thrown half alive on the floor. (See 1st pic below) That for sure guaranteed and sealed my answer as to never have her train me.
Couple months later, an American guy joins the gym. David. Man that poor guy literally faced hell with her! And I started messing around with him by telling Elizabeth "Make him bleed!" And it went on like that for a whole. Soon after I'd go up to Elizabeth as I'd pass by her and whisper "Make them bleed…"
So point of my story now Lol! I'm competing right? Well I needed some rough, fierce, bloody workout in my glute area. Very hard muscle to train let me tell ya. I always did the baby stuff. Just tone it up and that's it. Lately I've been focusing on it… But something was missing… Guess who I turned to? Guess who bled now?
Yea. Me! I payed the price yesterday! I turned to Elizabeth! All I remembered was David. Karma man. Seriously. Lol! No but honestly what I like about Elizabeth is how she is literally almost inside and running through your veins to help you complete your rep. I don't know how I couldn't have done it without her today. But every rep I nearly lost, she was right there not letting me give up! (I'm seriously SUPER DUPER weak in my lower body)
I got a bit frustrated seeing other girls lift like 3-4 times more than I did and that I couldn't lift as much as I thought I had to. However, Elizabeth taught me a whole lot AS I WAS GASPING FOR BREATHE EVERY REP TOO! It's not like she stopped to let me catch my breathe to listen to her school me on this. No! I had to listen as I was dying! Lol! That's what I love about her! So it was all about how I was performing the exercise. Not how much weight I needed to lift. I kinda knew that but still it frustrated me how I thought I was so weak. And it wasn't that I was weak! It was all about the correct weight, the focusing your mind on the right muscle! I guess we can apply the phrase "It's not about quantity, its about quality" here.
