It was a hard workout week!

Having no job for now gives me a lot of time to go to gym. I found a kindred fellow to go to gym with and now, we push each other to do sets and to work out our muscles without getting that "Hey Im tired of this let's hit the showers" feeling.
Personally, the hardest hit muscle for the week was my thigh muscles. My quads were given a total punishment with a routine courtesy of Arbuy, a muscle supplements store owner i also met this week.
He showed me how to use the quads machine to isolate my leg muscles. Instead of doing putting both my feet on the platform and pushing away, I was asked to push one leg at a time, doing 15 reps, on a 20 kg plate first on the right leg, then proceed, without rest, to do a plate lunge with right leg on the floor and left leg stretched behind. I was warned not to let my knees jut forward beyond my foot, it was tough! And I have to do 15 reps of this. The next set was on the left leg, same procedure, jumping to the lunge immediately after. I couldnt do three sets all continuously, by the 9th rep, my quads were screaming for rest and on my 3rd set, Arby had to help pull the platform on my feet to ease the burden.
That alone, combine with the squat which he taught me to do, with again, no knees jutting beyond my feet, would really build up my legs quite nicely. And it was something I had avoided doing. I guess that's why training does not equate comfort.
I also did a partial body combat class. My workout partner meanwhile patiently walked me through, corrected my bad form in throwing punches, uppercuts and jabs as well as basic kicks. Since he is a taekwondo black belter, he would know better how to do these. I willingly let myself be taught, though inside of me, I felt shame as at my age, I still coudnt throw a decent punch or kick like a real guy should.
So learning, learning is essential.
I also had my deadlift corrected, instead of doing bent knee deadlift, I should switch to stiff legged deadlift with back always straight to keep the correct form.
