I’ve all the time been extra into video video games than sports activities, and again within the early 2000s, being into video video games didn’t make you a cool streamer or e-sport participant; it made you a nerd.
Sooner or later in my life, by likelihood, I fell in love with weightlifting. I wish to outline weightlifting as a sport for nerds: it’s an optimization drawback the place you must steadiness coaching and weight-reduction plan, and you’ll see your progress in numbers; should you elevate extra this week than final week, you might be getting higher.
My journey had its justifiable share of stops and begins. Accidents, transferring, a pandemic, and dropping curiosity obtained in the way in which. However a month in the past, I obtained impressed to arrange a fitness center at residence: a rack, dumbbells, a barbell, weights, and a bench. And similar to that, I used to be again in motion.
The Problem
Prior to now, I skilled in common gyms however by no means with a private coach. I assumed they have been too costly and didn’t see how they may assist greater than I may assist myself. That was a mistake. Coaching alone led to accidents and I ended getting higher, staying simply common. Over time, I realized that having a great coach is admittedly vital (in life, on the whole, in any discipline).
