I often wonder how many powerlifters saw that they had a hidden greatness and kept going with the weights and suddenly that greatness surfaced and they knew it but never really said much of it?
I feel as if I am seeing this in myself from the perspective that my squats and deadlifts seem to be very strong, and baring injury, I seem to be hitting pr's every week. I just feel it in me that I can keep going higher (bench is my weakness though)BUT I have a wall.
The wall, I am training at a gym with a training and am paying gym fees as well as trainer fees and I cannot keep doing that without it severely affecting my finances. It is beginning to show its head right now. Has anyone been in this position and if so what did you do?
My trainer tells me if I continue and hit the gym 3 days a week I will have 4 cadillacs on that deadlift bar in no time. I hit 315lbs for a PR today for 1 rep with a belt. He wanted to see how I would do after nursing a groin injury. I snatched it up very quickly only because I learned how to keep my head up higher, butt down and use my legs, initially, to pull upward. Then I stood for 10 seconds holding the 315lbs because I felt like it and just laughed at myself over it. Trainer kept saying DAMN!!
Gym is $45 a month. Trainer fees amount to $120 a month. $165 a month total. Can't keep doing that. My Wall, what is the answer to breaking it down?
