OIk did my regular training. planing on watching the second half of the most recent workshop.

Saturday Im planing on shooting my 12 poste video with halfsword gaurds.

[Daniel]

super hard training day for me emotionally. Im going to start with my goals for the week then Im going to list where i need help and then i am going to rant about my struggles.

Training goals for this week.

1)med practice

2)legs on chair push ups 3 sets 15

3) squats 3 sets of 10

4) back leg up lunges 3 sets of 10

5)shoot one video

6) read 1 doc or watch 1 hour of video a day

Where i need help.

i don’t understand how duello tv works with masterclass. some videos are right on masterclass some are on duello tv. Im struggling to get duello tv to work today i have emailed info@duellotv for the second time. hopefully i can get this resolved because its becoming a huge emotional challenge for me.

Feels

i feel like a dumb piece of shit when i comes to technology. Im useless Im worse then useless. i don’t see why its works the ways it does or how to trouble shoot thing and i just always have to ask for help and people always make me feel like crap for asking for help with tech stuff. that’s why i never signed up for duello tv before because i knew i would run into these problems that everyone else doesn’t have.

much better then yesterday. ate healthy went for a walk got to my weekly training. i watched a few videos on how to properly do knee high push ups. and foot high lunges.

tonight is class 2 for my fundamentals class. before that i would like to go over the Sunday meeting video today, i might make it a 2 parts, 1 hour today and one tomorrow.

for anyone who is reading this your “likes” do give me motivation so please do.

[Daniel]

that was a hard training day, same as yesterday + half an hour walk.

my motivation was not there i got a headache i kept being distracted. i refused to stop until i had completed what i set out to do. now to have the second half of my omelette. having this goal set out before me was the only thing keeping me going. i would not have trained today without it thank you.

[Daniel]

OK so today was a slower start then i wanted i have decided that i want to start training earlier and earlier. started before 11 today that’s better then yesterday. i did both the short and medium practice today with my chair push ups 3 sets of 15. After the lunges coupled with the squats i fear for my legs tomorrow.

I do look forward to tomorrow, i don’t want to let this momentum fail. it feels good to be doing sword stuff again.

its time to eat my after training omelette

To make this updating my training log less daunting Im not gonna worry about punctuation and spelling to much. ok today i did my short practice added a few extra reps for the 6 cuts. I got derailed by my thoughts well working on cutting with cover and grappling to the hands. I managed to get back on track without to much interruption both times. i also added added knees on chair push ups 3 sets of 15

Hey I’m not sure if I’m aloud to post in other peoples training blogs or not. Since its directly related to your personal blog today I thought why not. I REALLY enjoyed the read today and embraced the suck. Let me know if if its ok to throw in comments or not.
