I compete in 12 weeks and 6 days as a natural bodybuilder as I have been banging on about for the past 2 years.
I'm not used to having quiet days as a PT...quiet weeks happen rarely during my career as a PT... but today I found myself sat at the gym not really doing much (and it was looking as if it was going to be the same for the majority of the week) as well as stressing as to how to get clients, hours and ultimately money to not only feed myself but in order to progress this comapny and my PT career.
I then trained my legs using too high a volume of reps, I trained for far too long and subsequently gave my central nervous system a thorough going over resulting in me making excuses and not doing my cardio, core and calves workout usually reserved for a Monday evening.
So, stressed out about money, my business, and completely feeling like I have lost track of all my goals.
It happens to us all from time to time.
Then, I stumbled accross this video of Michael Maldonado. I will let the video tell the story far better than I ever could.
It brought tears to my eyes, made me plan new classes to start on Wednesday, plan all my workouts and various other projects for the next coming weeks. I was truly inspired by this man's dedication, drive and passion for the gym, working out and staying in shape.
It's normal and perfectly fine to have off days like these, the trick is knowing probable areas to look to find motivation and solace.
Today I found Michael Maldonado, and he is my new hero.

P.S. Here's my back session to prove I'm back on it :)
