why are people so unkind 23042007

How on earth did that happen? Surely it can’t be because I have had one day of my supplements. I weighed myself last night and I actually ad lost about 1 kg! Some femme fatales may feel this alarming but I am trying to gain a few Kgs of lean muscle before I diet down for Novice figure.

This morning since I am not on my supplements I decided to take some extreme energy tablets to get me through my workout. For many years I have had a black coffee prior to my workouts along with any fat burners I may be trialing at the time. You can find out more info on how I felt when it and other things were in my system on my supplement review link.

I had done supersets for all my quad and calf exercises and finished with some abs. While finishing on the Abs pin loaded machine a regular member said I knew we’d always end up training together but you’d have to go slower and lighten the weights. I looked at the weight he was using for the abs machine and it was loaded much heavier than I ever would. I pointed this out as a friendly jibe, but he assumed I was mocking him and basically responded in a very sarcastic manner.

I wonder why people don’t ask to clarify things said or done before they assume things. A lot of misunderstanding wouldn’t occur if this was the case. I often read many fitness competitors blogs and am inspired by those who continue push themselves when the usual person would have crumbled over negative comments that “others “have made.

There have been many times when I have gone home down in the dumps because of comments people who are not in the know have said but then come to realize that they are just that. Not in the know. And the only person who really knows how hard well or heavy you train and why is you. I then ask myself why I am allowing myself to listen to those who could well possibly be venting their own negativity about what they won’t choose to do just because you in essence are showing them up. Talk about the tall poppy syndrome!

I am definitely one for positive criticism but there is a difference isn’t there. And sometimes it’s hard to discern when you feel unconfident about your own abilities.

This is something that I still have trouble with and the reason why I have enlisted a trainer to help me through this time leading up to the comp in October. I do know a lot of information and have been trained in gym instruction and personal training, but I just want the best chance to place in this competition and hence have someone to write my programs and diets during this journey.

After this comp I may continue with a trainer but it is a lot of expense when I’ve already gone through your own schooling and had many competition experiences regarding Figure/Sports model.

However I feel that If I had one more year of figure with a trainer(online only) who may be able to hold my hand through the competition process(twelve weeks prior and last week) I may be able to take the good of what I’ve learnt from them and make it on my own.
