Compete against the trainer

2008. 11. 13

Although it was raining, Oh decided to hit the gym since he skipped yesterday. He really did not want to, but the trainer called Oh out of the blue and told him to bring his ass to the gym. So Oh gave in, thinking about working out is better than doing just nothing but making up for sleep depravation.And as promised the other day, the trainer and Oh had a showdown. At least, they thought they would. Since both of them were not feeling good, they just helped each other out in working on chest and tripcep.

Oh dared the trainer to bench 180 kgs while Oh was going for 100 kgs, which he has never pulled off. Thanks to the trainers assistant, Oh lift 100kgs. But it was so painful. The trainer did not go all the way to 180kg. He was satisfied with 160kg without aid from Oh. Still great.

Since it was a rainy Saturday, there were only few people at the gym. So Oh took advantage of it by hogging the trainer! Today's exercise was quite intensive, Oh has to say. There were no breaks, but constant lifting and sipping water. Also, the trainer and Oh were alternating, it was very conducive to raise the level of motivation by helping out and competing against each other. Although Oh was way out of the trainer's league, he was still trying to stay in the game.

After a succinct, but intense 60 minutues, they called it quits. No workout tomorrow. It would be weird no to work out. But since Oh was tired from a very long and stressful weekend, he decided to take it easy this weekend. No parties or whatnot
