Hell is 2 bored Trainers

So, I show up to my workout last night, which if you recall is an alternating scenario of Nicole on Mondays and Nathan on Weds until Jason gets back. Technically Mick is my workout partner but his schedule is crazy so his attendance is uncertain.

I show up by myself having read Nathan's "I'm gonna kick Yo ASS" email, that he hopes instills fear in my heart. At this point it doesn't because he always opens a can of whoop ass all over me so I don't anticipate it getting any worse. Oh but it did...

When I get there he tells me that him and Nicole have decided to Tag-Team and train me together. Oh... alarm creeps over my face. What do you MEAN I have 2 trainers working me over in one session?.... Wait a minute.. that's nasty... that's not FAIR.....

Fuckety Fuck Fuck Man. They're both smiling and rubbing their hands like I'm some fresh piece of meat. Now, hey... given a different situation maybe this could be interesting.. but not here!!!

And it starts at 7pm sharp, the stairs first and then...

Nathan: Lunge steps, with alternating jump squats: 2 - 5lbs weights lunge steps + 10 jump squats (with the wieghts) / 2 -8lbs lunge steps + 15 jump squats (w/wieghts) / 2 - 10lbs lunge steps + 20 jump squats (w/wieghts) / 2 - 15lb + 20 jump squats (w/wieghts) / 2 - 20lb weights lunge steps + 10 jump squats (w/wieghts).

Nicole: Uphill running 1 min max incline + 30seconds of Mt Climbers + 15 pushups (2 sets)

Nathan: 2 - 30lbs lunge steps + 2 jump squats / 2 - 20lbs lunge steps 2 sets + 10 jump squats / 2 -30lbs lunge steps 3 sets + no jump squats (those 30lbs weights are hard enough to hold let alone lunge or jump with)

Nicole: 20 leg presses / 20 jump squats with medicine ball / Both in this stupid plea position where your feet are pointed outward - it hits the inner thigh.

(Other people training at the same time are watching with a look of shock at the beating I'm getting, and relief its not them. To them Nathan replies "She's an EXTREME mountain climber - this is NOTHING compared to the mountains!" Damn, I hate it when he's right, but ya, being in the mountains is harder over the long haul.

Nathan: 15 burpees

Nicole: 20 leg presses / 20 jump squats with medicine ball

Nathan: 15 burpees

Nicole: 20 leg presses / 20 jump squats with medicine ball

Nathan: 5 burpees holding 5lb wieghts + 5 flights of stairs

Nicole: 30 kicks at the weight bag and then pushing the wieght bag across the gym (2 sets)

Then there was more, some stuff on an incline bench - lifting myself up with my legs while holding a weight, then jumping on & off this stupid box. My session ended at 8pm, a full hour of a non-stop leg workout. At one point I thought I could cry when I saw Nathan grab the 30lb wieghts again and I shook my head and said "no way" and Nathan persisted "You can't quit on the mountain Lise!!" Again I hate it when he's right. As he's yelling after me "You're gonna thank me later!!" The fucker is probably right about that too. Nicole for her part was my cheerleader. Bad Cop / Sort of Good Cop - great.

The one thing missing was some serious cardio which I know I need to work on since its important for my climbing approaches. Ugggh. I'm too scared to tell either Nicole or Nathan that.

Fuckety Fuck Fuck Me.

My one saving grace.... directly after the workout, do not pass go, I stumbled over to my massage guy who works in the building next door. For the next hour and a half he massaged out much of the damage my muscles endured with Nathan and Nicole. Lots of that nasty lactic acid got flushed out of my system before it had time to settle in and get me real sore. He also worked on a few troubles points, a sore arm and a calf. An hour and a half is a luxury I give myself sometimes when I've really pushed myself.

I am sore today but not near as sore as if I hadn't had a massage. It remains to be seen how I'll feel tomorrow since day 2 can be the worst. But I'll have to figure it out as I'm gym climbing with a friend on Friday evening and working out Saturday morning with another friend.

No rest for the wicked or the suckers for punishment.....
