Events training

Trying to beat Gijs' records is an intimidating task no matter how ready you might think you are. I can anticipate the pain and bone-crushing sensation that accompany such a dreadful endeavor. The G-man is a machine with an unlimited reservoir of strength and endurance. Each time I succeed in edging his performances I find myself pasted on the ground like I've just been knocked out into next week, with my body in debilitating pain and genuinely glad that I'm still alive. You never really get used to this shock therapy. I know that in this sport of ours you're only as good as your last training session and every guy in the gym wants to erase you off the record board. That's why you gotta keep pushing yourself in all aspects of "enduring".

I surprised myself with my worst performance on the hercules hold today due to a messed up left biceps. I think I did the right thing by releasing early because it could have grave repercussions if you keep going. Even with this current time I beat everybody else in the gym but it's a farcry away from the 2 minute 10 seconds that I got one month ago.
