Personal Training

Finished Tech 2 weeks ago, but damn im missing it now. I feel permanentley tired working 5 days a week, im just not use to this stuff, lol. Finished with full distinctions though so im damn happy about that. Dont think ill be getting those sort of marks next year though, and im planning on starting a gym instructor course in September so all my smarts shall be going into that. The new course should be relativley easy, giving that its multiple choice tests and making a program for someone (theyll so be getting a basic full body, lol).
Im doing this course so that if the day comes when the manual labour kinda work im doing now gets a bit too much, I can change job to something that is actually my dream job. The only reason I wont do it now is because most personal trainers dont get very well paid, apart from a few who excel in their profession. Also I imagine the start of this career being very shakey with noeone knowing who you are and having to market yourself with no actual experience.....BUT, I will do it one day, just not today.
This one 12 week course is not the only one I shall be taking though. In January I will then move up a class to a personal training course which is 14 weeks (both courses one weeknight and one day at the weekend). Now these courses may be full of mumbo jumbo for all I know, but it is these kinds of courses that gyms would be looking for and therefore I need them to get my foot in the door. After I complete these 2 courses I will look for more that would actually be useful, maybe a few nutrition courses are out there, who knows.

Back to training

I finally got to use the bench again yesterday, and am happy to say that I got 3 full reps with 107.5kg. Usually I would stop the bar a few inches above the chest, with still a decent ROM, but that extra few inches right down to the chest is so much harder than it looks.
Tried front squats today, something my training has been lacking I think, and I only got them up to 80kg. However, it wasnt the leg strength that was the problem, it was the clean grip I was using that was destroying my wrists, lol. Definatley going to do these more often, maybe with a crossover grip instead though.
Finally, I went for a 1RM on my deadlift and got to 165kg. My goal was to pull 170....this was not to be unfortunatley. The 165 went very slowly and when I tried the 170 I could barely budge it. BIG kick in the nuts. Deadlift is definatley my weak point, but im going to keep at my squats and lower back stuff and they will eventually rise....i hope :s
