V2.0I'm back

I'm walking on a razor's edge and I'll keep doing so for a few more days, where the ice could break beneath me at any moment. I finally started my preparation, but after an illness, the first 4-5 days of restarting training are the most critical. If I wanted to convey the state I'm in, a video would do it best. In 1901, a mountain path was built in Spain, which was closed decades ago because it became life-threatening. There's a 6000 euro fine just for getting caught going on it. The guy who walked through it is not human. Balancing on a 5 cm iron bar hundreds of meters above a deep abyss. Respect.

First, I assessed the damage caused by the 13-day hiatus. I weigh 85.2 kg, which means I've lost 11.1kg since the beginning, and 1.05 kg during the flu-inflamed tooth combo. I'm almost certain I lost muscle, and that hurts mentally. Weight loss is guaranteed during illness anyway, especially when you have a fever, because your body is working very hard internally. The immune system is fighting, which requires some energy.

I feel weakened, and the emphasis after returning must be on gradual progression and caution. I reduced two levels for all exercises, and even then, I felt like I was pushing the workout to its limits. It's a crappy feeling when you have to watch every moment how your body reacts to the renewed load. For illustration, so you can visually grasp it, here's a table from before the flu, when it was February 17th, and what I did now.

Warm-up, and cardio in general, is FORBIDDEN in the first week after returning, so I skipped it too. The workout was done, it was great. However, my favorite receptionist quit the place, which affects me sensitively for several reasons, and not just because I had a thing with her. It doesn't matter if someone goes to the gym as a lifestyle or just as part of a training program, but sooner or later you'll realize that you spend a significant amount of time at the gym. The heart of a gym is the reception, few people know this, and it's good to be on good terms with them. People don't realize how much better the receptionist girls can make their workouts. Even when it's full, they can give you a key, they know what you drink, which protein powder, which is your favorite locker, and if there's a queue, they serve you faster because they don't mess around with silly questions, they already know the answers. In this case, the girl who's leaving, let's call her Niki, I wasn't just on good terms with her, but I also grew fond of her over the past 3-4 years. She was kind, helpful, if something bad happened to me, I could talk to her, the trust worked both ways, and the fact that we had sex a few times only deepened our connection. Although we couldn't talk about a relationship for a single minute, we managed to clarify that well. There's still one receptionist girl besides Niki whom I like (yes, her too). I hope Dika doesn't leave for a while, because there's a caste of receptionists in gyms that I absolutely detest. Their official designation is "the real stuck-up bitches," but it's that incredibly stupid layer. I've had the pleasure of looking at their stupid faces behind the reception desk, if possible, that was more than enough of them. I'm curious to see who will replace Niki.

Let's stay with the training for a bit longer, or rather the changes I've experienced. After 13 days of complete detraining, antibiotics, and an anti-inflammatory course, this is what I look like. Just to give some meaning to the weekly summaries, as far as the pictures are concerned.

Well yes, I lost some muscle and can't use the solarium due to the antibiotics, but if nothing intervenes, we'll be there in 8-10 days. After training, I had a sauna session, greased up, with a 3x Kung Fu world champion, fitness model, and a girl preparing for the Fitness European Championship. Among other things, because she can provide useful information to me and through me to you, due to her professional background and sports history, which I can utilize in my later posts. Hajni will primarily be able to provide great help to women at all levels of exercise and sports. I asked her if she'd like to write as a guest author for LifeTiLt for women about workouts, eating, and generally what goes into preparing for an international competition. She said okay, so soon you'll be able to read awesome articles from a real pro. The blog is developing, too bad we can't say that about Dave. The expansion of the site has actually been on my mind for a few weeks. I would like to eventually expand LifeTiLt into a mental workshop for workouts and a healthy lifestyle, where Olympians, World and European champions, coaches, and professionally recognized athletes will share their knowledge with you, through which you too can greatly change your lifestyle and repeatedly push your boundaries. This is still just a utopia today, but one day it might take shape, in any case, it won't be because of me. In this process, Hajni can be an important milestone.

The main thing is, it seems the first workout didn't wear me out and I feel good, I'm balanced, the iPad2 is out, CeBit is in full swing, spring is finally here, meaning I woke up to snow everywhere today, it turned out that the Matolcsy package won't include real reforms in the next 2 years, but let's not forget about the most important media event of recent years either. We're living in fantastic times, kids, needless to say.

Finally, let's frame this post, illustrating how carefully one must restart training, because we can fall back into the depths at any moment.
