LOL.. we can shake hands then.. the funniest part is that I can totally tell others how to do things as I'm not as paralysed by the minutiae and also am able to see more clearly what goes wrong (this is more related to nutrittion but also routines).
But especially for these particular exercises, it's very hard to do them yourself and know whether you do them right or wrong. Coach tells me whether it's right or wrong but it's very different from watching videotapes.. especially the ones NSCA are great, like from
NSCA - Performance Analysis Video .
It is still difficult, but I'm a bit more confident now.. I'm sure it takes me much more time than for others, but that's OK for me.. I'm just a bit embarassed to be such a slow learner and that embarassment makes me more angry about mistakes etc.
But to get back to the question.. a lot of this has to do with nutrition and stimulation. I'm playing with my nutrients & calories to see if I see better fat loss with 3-4 consecutive low-calorie days plus 2-3 high calorie days versus 3 smaller refeeds.
From what I experience, the former method backfires royally for me.. going into ketosis while exercising hard has so many bad repercussions it's not even funny anymore.
It's not even getting really bad, but I see it coming from a mile away.
The very last thing I want is to get sick.... so back to my more mellow nutrition routine. On more calories & carbs, I'm also having waaaaaaaaaaaay less of a stress response to training.
